Signe Gaupset Scout Report At SK Brann Kvinner 2022/2023 – Why The Promising Midfielder Is Already Turning Heads In Norway

Norway has a rich history of producing outstanding female footballers over the years, with the list of star names to have hailed from the Scandinavian nation including former England interim manager Hege Riise (who is currently the head coach of the Norwegian national team), Barcelona Femení winger Caroline Graham Hansen and Lyon Féminin striker Ada Hegerberg.

However, whilst they represent the past and the present of Norwegian women’s football, it is also important to look to the future, and one of their up-and-coming stars who is really starting to make a name for herself is 17-year-old Signe Gaupset.

The Brann Kvinner midfielder has been rapidly improving in recent times as she adjusts to life in the football spotlight, but 2022 was undeniably the year in which she really started to attract glances, with her being a major part of her countrys U17 Women’s Euros campaign and being included in the U19 squad for their equivalent tournament.

On the domestic stage, she was a key part of her side’s successful run towards a league and cup double, and there is no doubt that she will be one to watch when the 2023 Toppserien campaign gets underway in March.

This tactical analysis will look at why she is destined for great things in the football world, focusing specifically on how she helps her side to regain possession, build attacking phases of play and create different options on the field.

The scout report will also present some statistical comparisons between her and others in the same position who currently play in one of the five major women’s leagues in Europe, providing a clearer picture of her overall strengths and weaknesses.

Regaining possession

The first area of Signe Gaupset’s game that this analysis will examine is her ability to recover possession for her side, both after they have played a loose pass and when their opponents have had the ball for a sustained period of time, and what became abundantly clear as last season went on is that she has a natural hunger and desire to get on the ball in any area of the field that she can.

In this case, Brann were in the process of building a goalscoring opportunity and had moved the ball into Stabæk Kvinner’s third, but an overhit pass at this point undid all of that good work and gave Stabæk a chance to control the ball and clear their lines.

However, whilst the majority of players have stopped moving as a result, expecting the ball to be sent back towards Brann’s half of the field, Gaupset has not given up and instead chases the ball down.
