Scout report

Squad depthGoalkeeper

K. Klaesson is a 25-year-old goalkeeper at Viking, rated 41 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 58th of 219 on scout potential in the Eliteserien. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (56.4% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Klaesson.

Judged on this season alone, Klaesson graded 15 — a strong campaign that ranks top 28% of the 18 goalkeepers in the Eliteserien, on 4 clean sheets across 14 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 15). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 41, top 12% of the 18 goalkeepers in the Eliteserien. At 25 Klaesson is in his prime years, and a market index of 7.4 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Klaesson missed 6 games through injury (leg, injury) out of roughly 30 this season. The 14 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.

4 clean sheets in 14 appearances (29% of games). Playing behind a title-challenging side (1st of 16) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 56.4% 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 41, Klaesson carries the 2nd-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Eliteserien of 18 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
