Scout report
A. Engels is a 23-year-old central midfielder at West Ham, rated 67.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 122nd of 272 on scout potential in the Championship. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (41.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.91 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Engels.
Judged on this season alone, Engels graded 25 — a strong campaign that ranks top 23% of the 53 central midfielders in the Championship, on 0 goals, 3 assists and 2.907 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 24 → 25). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 68, 25th of 53 of the 53 central midfielders in the Championship. At 23 Engels is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 31.2 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · West Ham finished 2nd of 24 · a title-challenging side
2.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 10 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 24) 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 0 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.31 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Creativity. 0.31 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 41.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 67.6, Engels carries the 25th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship of 53 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
