A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (4.3% of available minutes). He brings 0.77 goal contributions per 90 (0.77 goals, 0 assists).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 3 → 3). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.

1 goal in 9 appearances (0.11 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.77 goal contributions per 90 (0.77 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 4.3% 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 38.4, Thoresen carries the 6th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Eliteserien of 24 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.77 goal contributions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
