Outlook

With a Rating of 42.9, Riisnæs carries the 8th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Eliteserien of 22 — though on just 18 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.42 goal contributions 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.
