A. Bella-Kotchap is a 24-year-old central defender at Hellas Verona, rated 70.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 152nd of 385 in the Serie A. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (58.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.49 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bella-Kotchap.
Judged on this season alone, Bella-Kotchap graded 25 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 42nd of 51 of the 51 centre-backs in the Serie A, on 2 clean sheets and 4.493 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 3 → 25). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 70, top 38% of the 51 centre-backs in the Serie A. At 24 Bella-Kotchap is in his prime years, and a market index of 121.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Bella-Kotchap missed 12 games through injury (thigh, injury, shoulder) out of roughly 38 this season. The 19 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.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
4.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th of 20) 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.
With a Rating of 70.4, Bella-Kotchap carries the 19th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A (top 38%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Hellas Verona finished 19th of 20) — 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 solid defensive volume (4.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~121), then tapers with age. At 24, Bella-Kotchap sits on 121.1, at or near its peak. The blue line is Bella-Kotchap's projected Rating — 70.4 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
