Scout report
Ali Lajami is a 30-year-old central defender at Al-Hilal Saudi FC, rated 25 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 236th of 317 on scout potential in the Pro League. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (21.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.54 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Lajami.
Judged on this season alone, Lajami graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 39th of 61 of the 61 centre-backs in the Pro League, on 3 clean sheets and 4.541 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 31 → 15). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, 39th of 61 of the 61 centre-backs in the Pro League. At 30 Lajami is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.7 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Al-Hilal Saudi FC finished 2nd of 18 · a title-challenging side
4.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 18) 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 21.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 25, Lajami carries the 39th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Pro League of 61 — though on just 25 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
