Scout report

Experienced headGoal-getting Winger

S. Larsson is a 33-year-old winger at IFK Goteborg, enjoying a standout season — 7 goals and 2 assists in 9 appearances, a Season grade of 33, top 45% of Allsvenskan wingers. On long-term scout potential he's rated 10.7, ranking 203rd of 208 in the Allsvenskan. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (35% of available minutes). He brings 1.23 goal contributions per 90 (0.95 goals, 0.27 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Larsson.

Judged on this season alone, Larsson graded 33 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 9th of 20 of the 20 wingers in the Allsvenskan, on 7 goals and 2 assists in 9 appearances (1.225 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 30 → 33). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 11, 20th of 20 of the 20 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 9 appearances (0.78 per game) for a mid-table side. Add 2 assists for 9 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 1.23 goal contributions per 90 (0.95 goals, 0.27 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 35% 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 10.7, Larsson carries the 20th-highest potential of the wingers in the Allsvenskan of 20 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (1.23 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
