On long-term scout potential he's rated 47.2, ranking 264th of 347 in the Ligue 1. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present (88.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.35 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Højbjerg.
Judged on this season alone, Højbjerg graded 55 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 8% of the 68 central midfielders in the Ligue 1, on 4 goals, 5 assists and 2.354 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 53 → 55). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 47, 52nd of 68 of the 68 central midfielders in the Ligue 1. At 31 Højbjerg is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 20.6 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Marseille finished 5th of 18 · an upper-table side
2.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 18) 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 4 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 88.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.3 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Outlook
With a Rating of 47.2, Højbjerg carries the 52nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Ligue 1 of 68. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
