Scout report

Key starterCentral defender

Dela is a 27-year-old central defender at Levante, rated 67.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 178th of 389 on scout potential in the La Liga. In his prime years, he has been an ever-present this season (86% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.35 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Dela.

Judged on this season alone, Dela graded 38 — a strong campaign that ranks top 18% of the 75 centre-backs in the La Liga, on 7 clean sheets and 3.354 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 27 → 38). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 67, 34th of 75 of the 75 centre-backs in the La Liga. At 27 Dela is in his prime years, and a market index of 44.6 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Dela missed 3 games through injury (injury, yellow cards, muscle) out of roughly 38 this season. The 33 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

3.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th 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 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 86% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.4/100).

Watch points

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

Outlook

With a Rating of 67.3, Dela carries the 34th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the La Liga of 75, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Levante finished 16th 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 (3.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
