S. Larsson is a 33-year-old winger at IFK Goteborg, enjoying a standout season — 7 goals and 2 assists in 10 appearances, a Season grade of 32, top 38% of Allsvenskan wingers. On long-term scout potential he's rated 11, ranking 209th of 215 in the Allsvenskan. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (37.7% of available minutes). He brings 1.08 goal contributions per 90 (0.84 goals, 0.24 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Larsson.

Judged on this season alone, Larsson graded 32 — a solid campaign that ranks top 39% of the 21 wingers in the Allsvenskan, on 7 goals and 2 assists in 10 appearances (1.084 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 30 → 32). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 11, 21st of 21 of the 21 wingers in the Allsvenskan. At 33 Larsson is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.8 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

7 goals in 10 appearances (0.7 per game) for a mid-table side. Add 2 assists for 9 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 1.08 goal contributions per 90 (0.84 goals, 0.24 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 37.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 33, 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 11, Larsson carries the 21st-highest potential of the wingers in the Allsvenskan of 21 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (1.08 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
