E. Hansson is a 28-year-old central midfielder at Excelsior, rated 41.5 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (18.9% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hansson.

On the season, Hansson graded 9 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal, 1 assist and 0.777 defensive actions per 90.

Clean sheets

0.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 12 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th of 18) 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.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.31 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 18.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 41.5 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
