My Take
Joachim Andersen reads to me like a classic modern center-back built the hard way. The path is what I notice: Danish academies, then a senior start at Twente in the Netherlands, a stretch in Italy with Sampdoria, a move to Lyon in France in 2019, and now the Premier League with Fulham plus the Denmark national team. That is four countries and four leagues before settling, which says a lot about adaptability. At 190 centimeters and born in 1996, he is squarely in a defender's prime. I tend to trust players who earned their level rather than being handed it, and his journeyman climb fits that mold.
