Squad depthDefensive midfielder

E. Ben Seghir is a 21-year-old defensive midfielder at Bayer Leverkusen, rated 68.3 overall by Field Insider's model. A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (13.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.72 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Seghir.

On the season, Seghir graded 3 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 0 assists and 1.724 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 34 → 3). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 68. At 21 Seghir is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 36.7 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Seghir missed 12 games through injury (ankle, international duty) out of roughly 34 this season. The 10 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.

Clean sheets

1.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 10 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 18) 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.

Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.3/100).
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 13.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 68.3 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.72 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.
