A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (36.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.89 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kuzyaev.

Judged on this season alone, Kuzyaev graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 6th of 8 of the 8 central midfielders in the Premier League, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 2.892 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 12 → 8). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 9, 8th of 8 of the 8 central midfielders in the Premier League. At 33 Kuzyaev is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.5 reflects that trajectory.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 36.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 9.2, Kuzyaev carries the 8th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League of 8. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
