Output in context · Borussia Dortmund finished 2nd of 18 · a title-challenging side
2.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 18) 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.19 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90.5/100).
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 31.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 76.5, Chukwuemeka carries the 14th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Bundesliga (top 24%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions 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.
