August Mikkelsen

In this scout report on August Mikkelsen, the Tromsø secondary striker, we delve into a player whose style of play is a fascinating blend of promise and room for growth. At 24, Mikkelsen has time on his side to fine-tune his craft, particularly in the attacking third. His ability to retain possession is a mixed bag, occasionally letting the ball slip away, which impacts his overall threat in front of goal. However, when it comes to distributing the ball forward, Mikkelsen's stats are impressive, showcasing his knack for progressive passing that frequently catches the eye. While his chance creation is still developing, his tendency to carry the ball forward hints at a player eager to make things happen.
