B. Raman is a 31-year-old winger at KV Mechelen, rated 22.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 295th of 311 on scout potential in the Jupiler Pro League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (30.2% of available minutes). He brings 0.5 goal contributions per 90 (0.25 goals, 0.25 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Raman.

Judged on this season alone, Raman graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 11th of 20 of the 20 wingers in the Jupiler Pro League, on 3 goals and 3 assists in 29 appearances (0.497 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 35 → 16). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 22, 19th of 20 of the 20 wingers in the Jupiler Pro League. At 31 Raman is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.8 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

3 goals in 29 appearances (0.1 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 6 goal contributions (0.21 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.5 goal contributions per 90 (0.25 goals, 0.25 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 30.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, 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 22.3, Raman carries the 19th-highest potential of the wingers in the Jupiler Pro League of 20, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (KV Mechelen finished 6th of 6) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.5 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
