Scout report

Squad depthDefensive midfielder

C. Niasse is a 26-year-old defensive midfielder at Hellas Verona, rated 57.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 247th of 388 on scout potential in the Serie A. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (31.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.66 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Niasse.

Judged on this season alone, Niasse graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 52nd of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 3.662 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 9 → 15). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 58, 36th of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 26 Niasse is in his prime years, and a market index of 35.6 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Niasse missed 3 games through injury (injury) out of roughly 38 this season. The 20 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.

Clean sheets

3.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th of 20) 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

  • Defensive volume. 3.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 31.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 57.5, Niasse carries the 36th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A of 57, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Hellas Verona finished 19th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
