The steal board’s Scandinavian entry
The skouted.ai hidden gems board is topped today by midfielders and full-backs, and by one centre-back from Sweden whose situation is more urgent than all of them. Moutaz Neffati, 21, has been a regular starter for IFK Norrkoping in the Allsvenskan, and the model grades him at 73 OVR with an undervaluation score of 83, labeled Highly undervalued, inside a market value band of just €1.7M to €2.8M.
His contract expires in three months. The deal score of 82 is one of the highest on the entire board.
The season that built the case
The model’s scouting report, verbatim: “At 21, Neffati has claimed a regular starting berth in the Swedish top flight, a significant achievement at this stage of a career. 28 appearances and 1G/4A this season. The profile leans heavily on physical presence (59) as the lead metric, with attacking output the natural development target. Potential projection sits at 62.”
The season line:
| Season | Club | Apps | Goals | Assists | Minutes | A/90 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | IFK Norrkoping | 28 | 1 | 4 | 2,395 | 0.15 |
Four assists from a centre-back is the quiet headline. At 175cm he is not a set-piece monster, and that is precisely why the assist column matters: this is a defender who contributes in open play, on the ball, in build-up. Right-footed and mobile, the profile maps onto the aggressive, high-line defender that modern pressing systems require.
The Scandinavian conveyor belt
Every season the Allsvenskan exports centre-backs to Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland and the German Bundesliga for fees between €1M and €4M, and every season some of them become full internationals within three years. The league’s summer-to-autumn calendar means the buying window is now: the Swedish season ends in November, contracts expire in December, and clubs who want the player without a fight negotiate in October.
Norrkoping’s own history makes them a willing seller. The club develops and trades, and a 21-year-old with 28 starts and an expiring deal is the exact asset they monetize. The three-month clock means the discount is already priced in, which is what pushes the deal score to 82.
AI Verdict: Strong Buy
A highly undervalued 21-year-old regular in a selling league, available at a discount because of the contract clock. The structure is right, the price is right and the profile fits the modern game. This is a strong buy before the December expiry does the negotiating for everyone.
