On long-term scout potential he's rated 9.7, ranking 102nd of 107 in the League One. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (27% 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 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 12th of 14 of the 14 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 → 10). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 10, 14th of 14 of the 14 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 1.1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.

Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 27% 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 9.7, Yiadom carries the 14th-highest potential of the full-backs in the League One of 14. 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).
