7 goals in 27 appearances (0.26 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a relegation-threatened side.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 61.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 45.6, Ambæk carries the 3rd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Superliga (top 14%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Brondby finished 4th of 6) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.35 goal contributions per 90). At 18 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
