Sondre Tronstad Scout Report
Scout report on Sondre Tronstad reveals a player with an impressive performance in the defensive midfield, specifically for Blackburn Rovers in the Championship season 2023-2024. His style of play is best characterized by his remarkable ball recoveries and ball retention skills, consisting a commanding presence in the heart of the field. He consistently finds his colleagues with a progressive passing rate among the highest in the league.
However, while Tronstad is a bulwark defensively, offering strength and stamina, there’s something to be left desired in his offensive contributions. His chance creation, progressive carrying, and goal threat statistics are less than stellar, which suggests he may struggle in launching from the midfield to provide assault on the opposite goal, a trait often sought in modern-day defensive midfielders.
His strong possession statistics demonstrate a player seldom caught without the ball at his feet, often orchestrating play from the deeper quarters. Yet again, his tendency to operate more heavily in the midfield and defensive zones depicts a preference for defensive work over contributing to the attacking moves.
One might argue that, given his defensive orientation, his lack of attacking prowess is an accepted trade-off. Nonetheless, Tronstad's lack of goals, assists, and shots per 90 figures are areas to be improved upon should he wish to evolve into an all-around midfield pivot. As it stands, clubs hunting for a tenacious ball-winner with a knack for keeping possession will have much to admire in this Norwegian metronome.
Despite the few instances of fouling and a reasonable number of yellow cards, his defensive discipline exhibits room for assurance. As he navigates his prime years, bolstering these aspects of his play could place him among the top bracket of box-to-box midfielders plying their trade in the Championship.
