Scout report

Experienced headGoalkeeper

N. Larsen is a 35-year-old goalkeeper at Silkeborg, rated 16.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 82nd of 88 on scout potential in the Superliga. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present this season (96.8% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Larsen.

Judged on this season alone, Larsen graded 3 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 8th of 10 of the 10 goalkeepers in the Superliga, on 3 clean sheets across 31 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 11 → 3). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 9th of 10 of the 10 goalkeepers in the Superliga. At 35 Larsen is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.9 reflects that trajectory.

3 clean sheets in 31 appearances (10% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (9th of 12) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 96.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 16.8, Larsen carries the 9th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Superliga of 10, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Silkeborg finished 9th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~3), then tapers with age. At 35, Larsen sits on 0.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Larsen's projected Rating — 16.8 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
