Scout report

Experienced headCentre-forward

A. Gignac is a 40-year-old centre-forward at Tigres UANL, enjoying a standout season — 3 goals and 3 assists in 25 appearances, a Season grade of 26, top 73% of Liga MX centre-forwards. On long-term scout potential he's rated 10.1, ranking 55th of 56 in the Liga MX. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (53.5% of available minutes). He brings 0.45 goal contributions per 90 (0.22 goals, 0.22 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Gignac.

Judged on this season alone, Gignac graded 26 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 8th of 11 of the 11 centre-forwards in the Liga MX, on 3 goals and 3 assists in 25 appearances (0.449 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 19 → 15). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 10, 11th of 11 of the 11 centre-forwards in the Liga MX. At 40 Gignac is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.1 reflects that trajectory.

3 goals in 25 appearances (0.12 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 6 goal contributions (0.24 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.45 goal contributions per 90 (0.22 goals, 0.22 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 53.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 40, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 10.1, Gignac carries the 11th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Liga MX of 11, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Tigres UANL finished 15th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.45 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
