Clean sheets

3.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 39.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 39.7, Kasumu carries the 44th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the League One of 73. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.41 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.
