Centre-forwards have dominated the 2025 summer transfer window at the top of the Premier League.
Two of the names that have been at the centre of transfer speculation all summer are Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak, who’s been heavily linked with a move to big-spending Liverpool this summer, and Viktor Gyökeres, who’s moved to Arsenal from Sporting CP (Sporting Lisbon) for a reported €65.8m.
Both players are Swedish forwards with a history in Swedish club football—Isak with AIK, the club with which he climbed the youth ranks and went on to make 29 first-team appearances, scoring 13 goals, Gyökeres with IF Brommapojkarna, where he made 67 first-team appearances, scoring 25 goals.
The Swedish top-flight, Allsvenskan, has produced several elite forwards over the years.
Legends of the game like Zlatan Ibrahimović and Henrik Larsson join Isak and Gyökeres in getting their start with Swedish clubs.
Given the demand two Swedish strikers have commanded this summer, we at Total Football Analysis took it upon ourselves to conduct a data analysis of the current forwards scene in Sweden’s top-flight, looking for the best young attackers the league has to offer.
Using Wyscout’s raw data and custom-built metrics, we searched for different types of forwards: poachers, target men, link-up forwards, creative forwards and inside forwards.
Our search was limited to players 23 years of age or younger who have played a minimum of 400 minutes this season so far.
In the end, our player analysis led us to two main standouts: the poacher (Max Fenger of IFK Göteborg, eighth of 16 teams in Allsvenskan this term) and the inside forward (Montader Madjed of Hammarby IF, currently second in Allsvenskan).
This analysis will run through our process of identifying these players and provide an in-depth analysis of both, highlighting the pair’s key traits, strengths, and weaknesses.
Since 1. FC Köln sealed their promotion back to the German top flight by winning the 2. Bundesliga title in May, they’ve been preparing themselves for the challenge of being among the elite again and stocking their squad with new signings.
One of those signings was Icelandic midfielder Ísak Bergmann Jóhannesson, who was one of the most offensively productive players in the second tier last term for Fortuna Düsseldorf.
With 17 goal contributions (11 goals and six assists), he nearly doubled his production of nine from the previous campaign and is living up to the promise he showed in his early days at Nörrkoping in Sweden a few years back.
At €5.5m, FC Köln are getting a fine young midfielder for a very cost-effective price, and one who is ready to step up on the big stage after a couple of solid years in the division below.
This player analysis and scout report will highlight Jóhannesson’s progression in 2024/2025, his strengths and areas of improvement, and how he could potentially fit into his new side going into his first crack at a top-five league this year.
