Clean sheets

2.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 8 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 66.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.27 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 49.3, Norheim carries the 1st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Superliga of 13 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.04 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.
