Scout report
S. Bjørshol is a 32-year-old full-back at Viking, enjoying a standout season — 2 goals and 1 assists in 17 appearances, a Season grade of 17, top 71% of Eliteserien full-backs. On long-term scout potential he's rated 16, ranking 203rd of 219 in the Eliteserien. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (30.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.43 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bjørshol.
Judged on this season alone, Bjørshol graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 27th of 38 of the 38 full-backs in the Eliteserien, on 3 clean sheets and 4.432 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 8 → 17). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 34th of 38 of the 38 full-backs in the Eliteserien. At 32 Bjørshol is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.9 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Viking finished 1st of 16 · a title-challenging side
4.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 16) 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 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.34 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Defensive volume. 4.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 30.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 32, 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 16, Bjørshol carries the 34th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Eliteserien of 38 — though on just 17 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
