Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 31 → 23). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, 26th of 39 of the 39 centre-backs in the Pro League. At 31 Khateeb is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.2 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Al-Ettifaq finished 8th of 18 · a mid-table side
2.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 9 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 49.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 25.4, Khateeb carries the 26th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Pro League of 39 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
