Elite prospectGoal-getting Attacking midfielder

Eguinaldo is a 21-year-old attacking midfielder at Shakhtar Donetsk, rated 41.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 3rd of 188 on scout potential in the Premier League and 1651st of 2874 U-23 players tracked. A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (30.8% of available minutes). He brings 0.85 goal contributions per 90 (0.85 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Eguinaldo.

Judged on this season alone, Eguinaldo graded 24 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 10% of the 22 attacking midfielders in the Premier League, on 6 goals and 0 assists in 15 appearances (0.848 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 19 → 24). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 42, top 5% of the 22 attacking midfielders in the Premier League. At 21 Eguinaldo is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 6 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Eguinaldo missed 7 games through injury (wound) out of roughly 30 this season. The 15 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.

Goals / app

6 goals in 15 appearances (0.4 per game) for a title-challenging side.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.85 goal contributions per 90 (0.85 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 30.8% 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 41.8, Eguinaldo carries the 1st-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Premier League of 22 — though on just 15 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.85 goal contributions 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.
