Good read, hope in pans out - from that he sounds like the Rio to Baily's Vidic.
I'm Swedish and have followed Liga NOS and Benfica the last couple of years. He's more like Rio than Vidic, but if he reminds me of any modern player it would be Thiago Silva.
Lindelöf is extremely smart in terms of understanding where the play will go and having composure. He makes very few tackles, but that's mostly because he doesn't have to. He has enough passing and creativity skills to be able to play as a creative midfielder.
His biggest weakness is his physique - if he get's into a situation where he is overplayed, he doesn't always have the speed or agility to correct the situation. However in Liga NOS it never happened this season, against Dortmund it happened a couple of times. Also his heading skills are poor for a centre back.
