Victor Eriksson

Victor Eriksson’s performances for Hammarby in the Allsvenskan are turning heads, and rightly so. At 24, his defensive maturity is well beyond his years, combining astute positioning and robust penalty area defending with a knack for timely interventions. Eriksson excels in recovery situations, consistently regaining possession for his team and showcasing impressive ball retention. His ability to progress the ball, particularly through passing, adds a vital transitional element to his game, making him more than just a stopper. While his 1v1 defending is solid, there's room for growth in his forward ventures, as his progressive carrying could be sharper. Overall, Eriksson’s scout report points towards a defender with a promising blend of defensive grit and distribution skills, a valuable asset for any team seeking reliability at the back.
