Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Jenssen.

Judged on this season alone, Jenssen graded 24 — a solid campaign that ranks top 36% of the 45 full-backs in the Eliteserien, on 6 clean sheets and 2.423 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 31 → 24). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, 33rd of 45 of the 45 full-backs in the Eliteserien. At 30 Jenssen is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.6 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Jenssen missed 3 games through injury (injury, yellow cards) out of roughly 30 this season. The 25 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

2.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.24 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 56.4% 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 24.7, Jenssen carries the 33rd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Eliteserien of 45. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
