On long-term talent our Rating reads 45, 11th of 14 of the 14 centre-backs in the Jupiler Pro League. At 27 Tanghe is in his prime years, and a market index of 14.3 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Zulte Waregem finished 3rd of 18 · an upper-table side
2.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 51.4% 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 45.2, Tanghe carries the 11th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Jupiler Pro League of 14. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
