On the season, Nwaneri graded 11 for current form (age-blind), on 2 goals, 1 assist and 1.957 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 9 → 0). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 76. At 19 Nwaneri is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 35.4 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Marseille finished 5th of 18 · an upper-table side
1.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 9 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.84 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 19 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 10.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 75.8 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 19, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
