Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kitolano.
Judged on this season alone, Kitolano graded 21 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 37th of 39 of the 39 full-backs in the Eliteserien, on 3 clean sheets and 2.523 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 7 → 11). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, 34th of 39 of the 39 full-backs in the Eliteserien. At 26 Kitolano is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.2 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Lillestrom finished 5th of 16 · an upper-table side
2.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 10 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 16) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 42% 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 29.4, Kitolano carries the 34th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Eliteserien of 39 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
