Scout report
Ayoze Pérez is a 33-year-old centre-forward at Villarreal, enjoying a standout season — 5 goals and 4 assists in 25 appearances, a Season grade of 36, top 61% of La Liga centre-forwards. On long-term scout potential he's rated 27.2, ranking 364th of 389 in the La Liga. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (44.7% of available minutes). He brings 0.72 goal contributions per 90 (0.4 goals, 0.32 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pérez.
Judged on this season alone, Pérez graded 36 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 27th of 44 of the 44 centre-forwards in the La Liga, on 5 goals and 4 assists in 25 appearances (0.719 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 65 → 36). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 27, 41st of 44 of the 44 centre-forwards in the La Liga. At 33 Pérez is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 17.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Pérez missed 10 games through injury (muscle, contusion, injured doubtful) out of roughly 38 this season. The 25 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 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Villarreal finished 3rd of 20 · an upper-table side
5 goals in 25 appearances (0.2 per game) for an upper-table side. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 9 goal contributions (0.36 per appearance).
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.72 goal contributions per 90 (0.4 goals, 0.32 assists) — productive for the role.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 95/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 44.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, 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 27.2, Pérez carries the 41st-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the La Liga of 44. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.72 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
