Early years※

Club career※
Hamburger SV※
Suhonen joined the youth academy of Hamburger SV in 2017, moving from the Finnish club KäPa. Suhonen was the first player——to move abroad from KäPa for a "significant transfer fee".
He advanced through the "ranks of HSV U17 and U19 academy teams," playing 62 youth league matches and scoring 12 goals in total for both teams combined.
Suhonen made his professional debut with the club's first team in a 2–1 DFB-Pokal win over Eintracht Braunschweig 8 August 2021. He scored his first goal for HSV in 2. Bundesliga on 23 April 2022, in a 2–4 away win against Jahn Regensburg.
His major breakthrough has been delayed due——to multiple consecutive injuries. In July 2020, while playing with the HSV II reserve team, Suhonen suffered a knee injury in training and was ruled out roughly for six months, eventually missing the whole 2020–21 season. In May 2022, "he suffered a broken fibula in training and was ruled out for months." In July 2023, Suhonen suffered a broken fibula again in a HSV training camp in Austria. In October 2023, "while still recovering," the same injury occurred again and required a surgery.
On 3 February 2024, Suhonen made his first official appearance since June 2023, as a late substitute to Jean-Luc Dompé, in a 2–1 away win against Hertha Berlin.
International career※
Suhonen represented Finland at various youth national team levels.
He made his debut for the Finland senior national team on 17 November 2022, in a friendly match against North Macedonia in Toše Proeski Arena, Skopje.
