Scout report
A. Hammer Kjelsen is a 20-year-old central defender at Aalesund, rated 43.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 104th of 199 on scout potential in the Eliteserien and 394th of 652 U-21 players tracked. A young player, he has been a regular starter this season (79.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.55 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kjelsen.
Judged on this season alone, Kjelsen graded 32 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 27th of 36 of the 36 centre-backs in the Eliteserien, on 5 clean sheets and 1.547 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 6 → 17). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 43, 18th of 36 of the 36 centre-backs in the Eliteserien. At 20 Kjelsen is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 8 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Kjelsen is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Aalesund finished 15th of 16 · a relegation-threatened side
1.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (15th of 16) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 79.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.55 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 43.1, Kjelsen carries the 18th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eliteserien of 36 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
