W. Westerlund is a 22-year-old central defender at Helsingborg, rated 25.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 53rd of 189 on scout potential in the Superettan and 2656th of 2874 U-23 players tracked. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (22.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.78 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Westerlund.

Judged on this season alone, Westerlund graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 20th of 32 of the 32 centre-backs in the Superettan, on 2 clean sheets and 2.776 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 14 → 8). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, top 25% of the 32 centre-backs in the Superettan. At 22 Westerlund is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 1.9 reflects that trajectory.

  • Game time. Only 22.8% 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 25.3, Westerlund carries the 8th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Superettan of 32 — though on just 17 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
