Output in context · Red Bull Salzburg finished 2nd of 12 · a title-challenging side
2.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 12) 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 2 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.47 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Creativity. 0.34 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 46.4% 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 45.6, Kjærgaard carries the 3rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Bundesliga (top 19%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
