Goals / app

1 goal in 14 appearances (0.07 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 4 goal contributions (0.29 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.36 goal contributions per 90 (0.09 goals, 0.27 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 36.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.08 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Age curve. At 33, 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 11.4, Wikheim carries the 23rd-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Eliteserien of 23 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.36 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
