Scout report

Squad depthCreative Attacking midfielder

B. El Khannouss is a 22-year-old attacking midfielder at VfB Stuttgart, rated 84.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 34th of 323 on scout potential in the Bundesliga and 44th of 1777 U-23 players tracked. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (58.6% of available minutes). He brings 0.5 goal contributions per 90 (0.22 goals, 0.28 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Khannouss.

Judged on this season alone, Khannouss graded 35 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 22nd of 34 of the 34 attacking midfielders in the Bundesliga, on 4 goals and 5 assists in 25 appearances (0.496 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 36 → 35). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 84, top 12% of the 34 attacking midfielders in the Bundesliga. At 22 Khannouss is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 47.7 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Khannouss missed 3 games through injury (international duty, yellow cards) out of roughly 34 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.

4 goals in 25 appearances (0.16 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 5 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 9 goal contributions (0.36 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.5 goal contributions per 90 (0.22 goals, 0.28 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 89.4/100).
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 58.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 84.1, Khannouss carries the 4th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Bundesliga (top 12%). In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.5 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
