Elias Olsson

Elias Olsson, the burgeoning centre back from Lechia Gdańsk, is swiftly becoming a name to watch in the Ekstraklasa. At just 22, Olsson blends youthful exuberance with a maturing sense of defensive duty, marking him as a promising prospect in any scout report. His ability to recover the ball effectively showcases a keen defensive acumen, and while his 1v1 defending could stand some improvement, his knack for retaining possession is undeniably impressive. However, it's his progressive carrying that truly sets him apart, allowing him to transition play from defence to attack with a composure that belies his age. Though not primarily known for his attacking contributions, Olsson's occasional forays forward reveal a surprising goal efficiency, hinting at untapped potential in the opposition’s third. His penalty box defending might require further honing, but his overall style of play suggests a player well on his way to becoming a defensive stalwart.
