A young player, he has been a rotation option this season (37.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.03 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Vester.
Judged on this season alone, Vester graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 30th of 45 of the 45 central midfielders in the Eliteserien, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 3.027 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 9 → 15). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, top 40% of the 45 central midfielders in the Eliteserien. At 21 Vester is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 6.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Sandefjord finished 13th of 16 · a lower-table side
3.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th 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 37.3% 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 39.7, Vester carries the 18th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Eliteserien of 45 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
