5.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 14 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 68.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 5.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 30.8, Sørensen carries the 9th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Eliteserien of 13 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
