Scout report
O. Højlund is a 21-year-old central midfielder at Eintracht Frankfurt, rated 73.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 105th of 323 on scout potential in the Bundesliga and 129th of 1777 U-23 players tracked. A young player, he has been a rotation option this season (43.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.36 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Højlund.
Judged on this season alone, Højlund graded 24 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 43rd of 59 of the 59 central midfielders in the Bundesliga, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 3.358 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 14 → 24). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 74, 24th of 59 of the 59 central midfielders in the Bundesliga. At 21 Højlund is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 39.7 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Højlund missed 5 games through injury and 1 suspension (thigh, toe) out of roughly 34 this season. The 24 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.
A career still climbing — Højlund is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Eintracht Frankfurt finished 8th of 18 · a mid-table side
3.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 43.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 73.8, Højlund carries the 24th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Bundesliga of 59. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions 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. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
