Clean sheets

5.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 19 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

  • Availability. On the pitch for 78.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 5.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 28.7, Norén carries the 25th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Allsvenskan of 47, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Mjallby AIF finished 12th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
