NAME: Mathias Johan Fjørtoft Løvik
BORN IN: Molde (Norway), on 06/12/2003
ROLE: Defender
TEAM: Parma
New reinforcement in defense for Fabio Pecchia’s Parma: the permanent purchase of winger Mathias Johan Fjørtoft Løvik, born in 2003, from Norwegian side Molde is official.
Raised in the Norwegian club’s youth system, the defender made his first team debut in the 2021/2022 season, also taking part in the Conference League. In his career he has collected a total of 62 appearances in the Eliteserien (Norwegian top league), with 6 goals and 5 assists, in addition to 13 appearances in the Conference League and 6 in the Europa League, where he scored 1 goal. In the current season he has played 6 matches in the qualifying rounds for the Europa League and 5 in the Conference League.
From a characteristics point of view, Løvik is a versatile winger, capable of playing on both flanks, with a predilection for the left one. He can be deployed both as a full-back and as a midfielder. Equipped with good speed, technique and quality in crossing, he represents an interesting option for Parma.
Fantasy football advice: Løvik’s tactical flexibility could prove to be an important weapon for Pecchia. However, it is unlikely that he will be able to immediately win a starting place in the left lane of the back four, where Valeri remains the favourite. Løvik could initially find space during the ongoing race to accumulate experience in the Italian championship. In the long term, however, he could enter the starting rotations. We recommend purchasing it as the last slot in both the 8 and 10 leagues, but without investing too many credits.
