One of the fun things about using our xGOLD tool to find similar players to the ideal profile is when the tool identifies someone that you genuinely think is an under-the-radar talent, like Aune Heggebo, for example, who plays very similarly to Ollie Watkins.
Heggebo is currently playing for SK Brann in Norway, and while his goal-scoring numbers don’t stand out, the other underlying metrics and our TIPPSTER scouting model rate him very highly – a player who could make a significant impact for a Tier 2 club.
