Hugo Larsson Scout Report
In this scout report, we delve into the intriguing profile of Eintracht Frankfurt's young Swedish central midfielder, Hugo Larsson. A product of the 2023-2024 Bundesliga season, Larsson has shown considerable prowess despite being quite young, especially when it comes to his attacks.
Larsson's standout ability is his goal efficiency, landing impressively within Bundesliga's top quarter. This suggests he has a knack for making his shots count and imposing himself as a midfield goal threat – unusual for his position. His interceptions, too, are laudable, landing him in the top 15%. It hints at a defensive midfielder with a sharp eye for reading the opposition's game and disrupting their flow.
However, it's not purely sunshine and rainbows for Larsson; he grapples with significant shortcomings. His progressive play suffers with below-average progressive carrying and passing rankings. His aerial duels win percentage and duel win percentage are concerning, mirroring perhaps a lack of physicality or tactical nous. His chance creation is near the bottom, a dire statistic for a central midfielder that points to his struggle to unlock defenses.
Larsson's style of play is conservative and he is often found in the midfield third, while he's less prevalent in the attacking penalty area. This paints him as a defensive-minded player who tends to sit back rather than overcommitting to attacks. Still, despite his lower possession, he manages to secure high xA per 90 and goal-per-90 stats, indeed implying a direct style of play.
In summary, Larsson is a promising player, efficient in front of the goal and at disrupting opponents, but with work to do in enhancing his creative contributions and physical game.
