Scout report

Experienced headCentral defender

C. Johansson is a 32-year-old central defender at Holstein Kiel, rated 20.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 111th of 116 on scout potential in the 2. Bundesliga. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (30.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.43 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Johansson.

Judged on this season alone, Johansson graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 17th of 26 of the 26 centre-backs in the 2. Bundesliga, on 3 clean sheets and 3.429 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 4 → 15). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 20, 25th of 26 of the 26 centre-backs in the 2. Bundesliga. At 32 Johansson is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.7 reflects that trajectory.

3.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 30.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 20.4, Johansson carries the 25th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the 2. Bundesliga of 26 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
