Clean sheets

2.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 12) 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 88.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.18 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 32.6, Okoroji carries the 26th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Super League of 40. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~9), then tapers with age. At 29, Okoroji sits on 4.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Okoroji's projected Rating — 32.6 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
