Scout report

Squad depthDefensive midfielder

B. Hussein is a 26-year-old defensive midfielder at Degerfors IF, rated 28.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 138th of 215 on scout potential in the Allsvenskan. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (52.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hussein.

Judged on this season alone, Hussein graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 17th of 19 of the 19 defensive midfielders in the Allsvenskan, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.996 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 17 → 14). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 28, 14th of 19 of the 19 defensive midfielders in the Allsvenskan. At 26 Hussein is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.7 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (14th 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. 4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 52.3% 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 28.2, Hussein carries the 14th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Allsvenskan of 19 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4 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.
