Scout report
B. Khela is a 21-year-old central midfielder at Birmingham, rated 50.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 135th of 272 on scout potential in the Championship and 493rd of 1759 U-23 players tracked. A young player, he has been a regular starter this season (68.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.9 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Khela.
Judged on this season alone, Khela graded 33 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 6% of the 53 central midfielders in the Championship, on 3 goals, 3 assists and 2.901 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 29 → 33). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 51, 26th of 53 of the 53 central midfielders in the Championship. At 21 Khela is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 23 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2025/26 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Birmingham finished 4th of 24 · an upper-table side
2.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 40 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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 3 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 68.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.22 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 50.9, Khela carries the 26th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship of 53. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
