Scout report

Squad depthBall-winning Central midfielder

S. Spierings is a 30-year-old central midfielder at Brondby, rated 21.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 181st of 207 on scout potential in the Superliga. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (27.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.25 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Spierings.

Judged on this season alone, Spierings graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 16th of 18 of the 18 central midfielders in the Superliga, on 2 goals, 1 assist and 4.249 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 4 → 18). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 21, 13th of 18 of the 18 central midfielders in the Superliga. At 30 Spierings is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.8 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

4.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (4th of 6) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.33 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 4.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 27.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 21.1, Spierings carries the 13th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Superliga of 18 — though on just 17 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
