Scout report

Squad depthDefensive midfielder

F. Adjei is a 22-year-old defensive midfielder at IFK Varnamo, rated 33.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 72nd of 248 on scout potential in the Allsvenskan and 2292nd of 2874 U-23 players tracked. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (48.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.57 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Adjei.

Judged on this season alone, Adjei graded 26 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 12th of 17 of the 17 defensive midfielders in the Allsvenskan, on 3 goals, 1 assist and 3.573 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 24 → 26). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

Clean sheets

3.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th 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 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.28 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 3.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 48.5% 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 33.7, Adjei carries the 6th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Allsvenskan (top 36%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (IFK Varnamo finished 16th 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 solid defensive volume (3.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
