Scout report

Squad depthCreative Central midfielder

Y. Ibrahimaj is a 30-year-old central midfielder at Ham-Kam, enjoying a standout season — 3 goals and 3 assists in 10 appearances, a Season grade of 21, top 62% of Eliteserien central midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 20.9, ranking 190th of 219 in the Eliteserien. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member (30.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.53 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ibrahimaj.

Judged on this season alone, Ibrahimaj graded 21 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 31st of 50 of the 50 central midfielders in the Eliteserien, on 3 goals, 3 assists and 1.529 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 8 → 21). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 21, 45th of 50 of the 50 central midfielders in the Eliteserien. At 30 Ibrahimaj is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 10 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th of 16) 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 3 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.66 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Creativity. 0.33 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 30.5% 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 20.9, Ibrahimaj carries the 45th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Eliteserien of 50 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
