Bolu Shofowoke is a 17-year-old central midfielder at Peterborough, rated 42.4 overall by Field Insider's model. A teenage prospect, he has been a fringe squad member this season (11% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.18 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Shofowoke.

On the season, Shofowoke graded 4 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 1 assist and 2.181 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 4 → 4). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2025/26.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 42. At 17 Shofowoke is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 6.6 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 8 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (18th of 24) 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 11% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 42.4 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 17 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
