Experienced headCreative Defensive midfielder

A. Erokhin is a 36-year-old defensive midfielder at Zenit, rated 5.7 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (3.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Erokhin.

On the season, Erokhin graded 3 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal, 1 assist and 1 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 4 → 4). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 6. At 36 Erokhin is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.2 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 14 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 16) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Creativity. 1 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 3.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 5.7 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
