Scout report
A. Ndiaye is a 30-year-old central midfielder at Valladolid, rated 30.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 99th of 128 on scout potential in the Segunda División. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (28.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.39 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ndiaye.
Judged on this season alone, Ndiaye graded 20 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 9th of 21 of the 21 central midfielders in the Segunda División, on 4 goals, 0 assists and 3.39 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 4 → 20). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 30, 19th of 21 of the 21 central midfielders in the Segunda División. At 30 Ndiaye is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 7.2 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Valladolid finished 17th of 22 · a lower-table side
3.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th of 22) 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 4 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.34 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 28.1% 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 30.1, Ndiaye carries the 19th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Segunda División of 21, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Valladolid finished 17th of 22) — 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 (3.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
