Scout report

Squad depthGoalkeeper

G. Bazunu is a 24-year-old goalkeeper at Southampton, rated 65.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 60th of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (52.2% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bazunu.

Judged on this season alone, Bazunu graded 15 — a solid campaign that ranks top 32% of the 44 goalkeepers in the Championship, on 7 clean sheets across 25 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 9 → 15). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 66, top 14% of the 44 goalkeepers in the Championship. At 24 Bazunu is in his prime years, and a market index of 30.3 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Bazunu missed 12 games through injury (thigh, meniscus injur, inactive) out of roughly 48 this season. The 25 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.

7 clean sheets in 25 appearances (28% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (4th of 24) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 52.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 65.8, Bazunu carries the 6th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Championship (top 14%). A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
