Scout report

Project playerBall-winning Central defender

K. Peprah Oppong is a 22-year-old central defender at IFK Norrkoping, rated 35.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 50th of 248 on scout potential in the Allsvenskan and 2188th of 2878 U-23 players tracked. An emerging talent, he has been an ever-present this season (83.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.49 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Oppong.

Judged on this season alone, Oppong graded 24 — a solid campaign that ranks top 40% of the 51 centre-backs in the Allsvenskan, on 1 clean sheet and 4.493 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 19 → 24). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 35, top 10% of the 51 centre-backs in the Allsvenskan. At 22 Oppong is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 4.8 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Oppong missed 3 games through injury (injury, yellow cards) out of roughly 32 this season. The 15 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

4.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 15 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.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 83.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 4.49 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 35.3, Oppong carries the 5th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Allsvenskan (top 10%), 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 solid defensive volume (4.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
