Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ozoh.
Judged on this season alone, Ozoh graded 30 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 33rd of 65 of the 65 defensive midfielders in the Championship, on 2 goals, 0 assists and 3.927 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 12 → 30). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 69, top 11% of the 65 defensive midfielders in the Championship. At 21 Ozoh is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 79.6 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Ozoh missed 10 games through injury (injury, thigh) out of roughly 46 this season. The 33 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.
A career still climbing — Ozoh is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
3.93 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (8th of 24) 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.
With a Rating of 69.1, Ozoh carries the 7th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Championship (top 11%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.93 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

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 (~88), then tapers with age. At 21, Ozoh sits on 79.6, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Ozoh's projected Rating — 69.1 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.
