Scout report
A. Yiadom is a 34-year-old full-back at Reading, enjoying a standout season — 0 goals and 0 assists in 29 appearances, a Season grade of 12, top 86% of League One full-backs. On long-term scout potential he's rated 10.4, ranking 470th of 481 in the League One. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (31.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.43 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Yiadom.
Judged on this season alone, Yiadom graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 68th of 79 of the 79 full-backs in the League One, on 2 clean sheets and 4.428 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 6 → 12). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 10, 79th of 79 of the 79 full-backs in the League One. At 34 Yiadom is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Yiadom missed 7 games through injury (jumpers knee) out of roughly 46 this season. The 29 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Reading finished 12th of 24 · a mid-table side
4.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 29 appearances.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 31.9% 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
With a Rating of 10.4, Yiadom carries the 79th-highest potential of the full-backs in the League One of 79. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
