Scout report

Solid contributorCentral midfielder

A. Wan-Bissaka is a 28-year-old central midfielder at West Ham, rated 56.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 261st of 376 on scout potential in the Premier League. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (60.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.46 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Wan-Bissaka.

Judged on this season alone, Wan-Bissaka graded 29 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 28th of 55 of the 55 defensive midfielders in the Premier League, on 0 goals, 2 assists and 3.455 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 85 → 29). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 57, 35th of 55 of the 55 defensive midfielders in the Premier League. At 28 Wan-Bissaka is in his prime years, and a market index of 40.8 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Wan-Bissaka missed 7 games through injury (international duty, illness) out of roughly 38 this season. The 25 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

3.46 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 60.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 91.1/100).

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 56.6, Wan-Bissaka carries the 35th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premier League of 55, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (West Ham finished 18th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.46 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years). Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
