On long-term talent our Rating reads 0. At 34 Zaqan is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Al Arabi SC finished 10th of 20 · a mid-table side
2.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 29 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.37 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 15.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 0.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.21 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).
