Scout report

Squad depthDefensive midfielder

B. Hussein is a 26-year-old defensive midfielder at AIK Stockholm, rated 29 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 127th of 189 on scout potential in the Allsvenskan. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (51.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.09 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 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 16th of 17 of the 17 defensive midfielders in the Allsvenskan, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 2.088 defensive actions per 90.

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

On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, 13th of 17 of the 17 defensive midfielders in the Allsvenskan. At 26 Hussein is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.8 reflects that trajectory.

Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.

Clean sheets

2.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 51.1% 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 29, Hussein carries the 13th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Allsvenskan of 17, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (AIK Stockholm finished 11th 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 moderate defensive volume (2.09 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.
