Squad depthCentral defender

A. Jallow is a 28-year-old central defender at IFK Goteborg, rated 23.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 136th of 189 on scout potential in the Allsvenskan. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (58.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.79 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Jallow.

Judged on this season alone, Jallow graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 30th of 37 of the 37 centre-backs in the Allsvenskan, on 1 clean sheet and 3.789 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 21 → 14). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 24, 25th of 37 of the 37 centre-backs in the Allsvenskan. At 28 Jallow is in his prime years, and a market index of 1.9 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 13 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th 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

  • Defensive volume. 3.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 58.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 23.8, Jallow carries the 25th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Allsvenskan of 37 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
