Squad depthGoal-getting Attacking midfielder

J. Bruun Larsen is a 28-year-old attacking midfielder at Burnley, rated 42.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 112th of 272 on scout potential in the Championship. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (29.5% of available minutes). He brings 0.59 goal contributions per 90 (0.3 goals, 0.3 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Larsen.

Judged on this season alone, Larsen graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 24th of 26 of the 26 attacking midfielders in the Championship, on 2 goals and 2 assists in 9 appearances (0.589 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 19). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 43, 14th of 26 of the 26 attacking midfielders in the Championship. At 28 Larsen is in his prime years, and a market index of 11.9 reflects that trajectory.

2 goals in 9 appearances (0.22 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 4 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.59 goal contributions per 90 (0.3 goals, 0.3 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 29.5% 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 42.9, Larsen carries the 14th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Championship of 26 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.59 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
