Best Alternatives to Jesper Karlsson

Playing Style Analysis

A Forward. Statistically, he stands out as an elite creator (1.8 key passes/90). Note: this profile is based on 503 minutes of playing time this season. The three closest DNA matches to Jesper Karlsson:

• Noa Lang(80% match) — Lang arrived in Serie A carrying the reputation of a Dutch showman, but the data tells a more complete—and more interesting—story than the highlight reel suggests. His key passes per 90 sit in the top 10% of Serie A attackers, and his press intensity matches that bracket too, revealing a player who works both sides of the ball with genuine conviction.
• Nico González(80% match) — A Inside Forward. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, a constant goal threat (2.7 shots/90), a regular goalscorer (0.31 goals/90) and strong in aerial duels (3.1 aerials won/90).
• Jonathan Rowe(80% match) — Rowe has carved out a quietly disruptive identity in Serie A—a wide attacker who terrorises defenders with the ball at his feet yet rarely punishes them on the scoresheet. His dribbling numbers sit in the top 5% of the league, which tells you everything about his ability to manufacture chaos in tight spaces.
