Scout report
E. Can is a 32-year-old attacking midfielder at Borussia Dortmund, rated 31 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 298th of 325 on scout potential in the Bundesliga. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (40.6% of available minutes). He brings 0.44 goal contributions per 90 (0.44 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Can.
Judged on this season alone, Can graded 25 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 34th of 58 of the 58 attacking midfielders in the Bundesliga, on 3 goals and 0 assists in 9 appearances (0.435 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 38 → 25). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, 52nd of 58 of the 58 attacking midfielders in the Bundesliga. At 32 Can is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 9.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Can missed 21 games through injury (groin, knee, muscle) out of roughly 34 this season. The 9 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 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Borussia Dortmund finished 2nd of 18 · a title-challenging side
3 goals in 9 appearances (0.33 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.44 goal contributions per 90 (0.44 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.
- Defensive volume. 5.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90.5/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 40.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 32, 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 31, Can carries the 52nd-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Bundesliga of 58 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.44 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
