Clean sheets

4.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.19 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 4.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 37.7% 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 27.7, Sørensen carries the 39th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Eliteserien of 50 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
