Clean sheets

2.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 21) 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 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.56 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Creativity. 0.37 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.

Outlook

With a Rating of 26.4, Ashour carries the 33rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League of 64 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

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 (~6), then tapers with age. At 28, Ashour sits on 3.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Ashour's projected Rating — 26.4 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.
