I. Lushaku is a 25-year-old central midfielder at IFK Norrkoping, rated 28.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 126th of 241 on scout potential in the Allsvenskan.

Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Lushaku.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 14 → 13). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.

Clean sheets

3.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 21 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (14th 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 34.6% 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 28.6, Lushaku carries the 20th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Allsvenskan of 39, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (IFK Norrkoping finished 14th 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 (3.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
