L. Salvesen is a 30-year-old centre-forward at Derby, rated 28.4 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (12% of available minutes). He brings 0.73 goal contributions per 90 (0.73 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Salvesen.

On the season, Salvesen graded 10 for current form (age-blind), on 2 goals and 0 assists in 10 appearances (0.726 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 11 → 10). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 28. At 30 Salvesen is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.5 reflects that trajectory.

2 goals in 10 appearances (0.2 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.73 goal contributions per 90 (0.73 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 12% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 28.4 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.73 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
