Does not appear to pass WP:GNG, searching up "Per Harrysson fotbollsspelare" brought up what looked to be some promising sources, but on further inspection they unfortunately all turned out to be either passing mentions or interviews, I could find nothing that would contribute to GNG.

Comment: Covered in some detail (at least a page) in the book Boken om 500 AIK:are (content also found online here). Possibly also significant coverage in this news story, and some other newspieces. Borderline notability. – Elisson • T • C • 07:14, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately, that book does not appear to be a secondary source. Based on the product page you linked, it looks like it was written by someone who works for AIK Fotboll, and is sold in collaboration with the club. Essentially, it's a primary source written by the club about its own players. Devonian Wombat (talk) 09:08, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see anything about Johrén working for AIK, though he has had voluntary (non-profit) assignments. Idrottsförlaget is an independent publisher. Of course for many books of that kind, no matter the publisher independence, they will sell the book in collaboration with the club in question. And just to be clear, I am talking about if the book is an independent source or not—not primary or secondary which is something else, and the book is clearly a secondary or tertiary source (a collection of information from other sources). No matter that, I don't see how Johrén would have a vested interest in Per Harrysson, given the guidelines for WP:IIS. I don't have a strong opinion about this, but for a player with 50 top-division matches (most for one of the larger clubs in Sweden), top-scorer in the second division, and ~25 youth caps at that, sources establishing notability are very likely to exist besides the mentioned book. – Elisson • T • C • 14:27, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. Giant Snowman 18:58, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

'Keep - sufficient sourcing below and in the above book for the person to be notable. Giant Snowman 17:13, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Per @Johan Elisson:. @GiantSnowman:, These sources show he is notable in Sweden: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], and [10], among many many sources about him not listed here from skd.se, sydsvenskan.se, skanesport.se, etc. Having been a fully pro Swedish top flight footballer in the 1990s, there is also definitely offline sources about him. I look at the other Sports WikiProjects and they don't nearly have an article deleted per day, let alone 10. By the time I finish writing this, another ten will probably be deleted. Article may need improvement, but definitely not deletion. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 00:19, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
