Scout report

Squad depthAttacking midfielder

H. Vale is a 22-year-old attacking midfielder at QPR, rated 68.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 53rd of 495 on scout potential in the Championship and 353rd of 2847 U-23 players tracked. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (52.4% of available minutes). He brings 0.37 goal contributions per 90 (0.17 goals, 0.21 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Vale.

Judged on this season alone, Vale graded 24 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 18th of 32 of the 32 attacking midfielders in the Championship, on 4 goals and 5 assists in 31 appearances (0.373 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 38 → 24). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 69, top 22% of the 32 attacking midfielders in the Championship. At 22 Vale is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 30.1 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Vale missed 6 games through injury (inactive, muscle) out of roughly 46 this season. The 31 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.

Goals / app

4 goals in 31 appearances (0.13 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 5 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 9 goal contributions (0.29 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.37 goal contributions per 90 (0.17 goals, 0.21 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 52.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 68.8, Vale carries the 7th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Championship (top 22%). In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.37 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
