Scout report
E. Owusu is a 28-year-old defensive midfielder at Auxerre, rated 55.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 210th of 321 on scout potential in the Ligue 1. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (76.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.98 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Owusu.
Judged on this season alone, Owusu graded 26 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 17th of 26 of the 26 defensive midfielders in the Ligue 1, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.978 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 47 → 26). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 55, 17th of 26 of the 26 defensive midfielders in the Ligue 1. At 28 Owusu is in his prime years, and a market index of 19.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Owusu missed 5 games through injury (injury, yellow cards) out of roughly 34 this season. The 29 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.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Auxerre finished 15th of 18 · a lower-table side
3.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 76.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 3.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 55.2, Owusu carries the 17th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Ligue 1 of 26, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Auxerre finished 15th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years). Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
