Experienced headCentral defender

S. Owusu is a 31-year-old central defender at Fredrikstad, rated 18.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 218th of 246 on scout potential in the Eliteserien. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (35% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.1 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Owusu.

Judged on this season alone, Owusu graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 43rd of 49 of the 49 centre-backs in the Eliteserien, on 1 clean sheet and 3.103 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 10 → 8). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 40th of 49 of the 49 centre-backs in the Eliteserien. At 31 Owusu is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.5 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 13 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.25 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 35% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, 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 18.1, Owusu carries the 40th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eliteserien of 49 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
