Scout report

Experienced headGoalkeeper

D. Cornell is a 35-year-old goalkeeper at Preston, rated 11.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 488th of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (16.3% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cornell.

Judged on this season alone, Cornell graded 1 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 43rd of 44 of the 44 goalkeepers in the Championship, on 1 clean sheet across 8 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 8 → 1). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 42nd of 44 of the 44 goalkeepers in the Championship. At 35 Cornell is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.6 reflects that trajectory.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 16.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 35, 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 11.8, Cornell carries the 42nd-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Championship of 44 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
