Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kessié.
Judged on this season alone, Kessié graded 34 — a strong campaign that ranks top 29% of the 63 central midfielders in the Pro League, on 5 goals, 3 assists and 1.642 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 37 → 34). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, 35th of 63 of the 63 central midfielders in the Pro League. At 29 Kessié is in his prime years, and a market index of 18 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
1.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 5 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 39.9, Kessié carries the 35th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Pro League of 63. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× 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 (~33), then tapers with age. At 29, Kessié sits on 18, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Kessié's projected Rating — 39.9 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.
