Simen Hestnes

Simen Hestnes, at 29, is the beating heart of KFUM’s midfield, combining a blend of technical prowess and tactical intelligence in his style of play. His remarkable ability to retain possession marks him out as a linchpin in midfield transitions, often acting as the fulcrum through which the team’s play flows. Hestnes showcases an impressive knack for progressive passing, consistently driving the ball forward and linking up play with a keen eye for creative opportunities. Defensively, he’s a mixed bag; while adept in penalty area defending, his one-on-one defending could use some refinement. Nevertheless, his capacity for ball recovery and carrying the ball forward with purpose makes him a critical player in both defence and attack. This scout report highlights a player whose maturity and experience are central to his team’s ambitions, though there’s room for improvement in honing his defensive duels.
