Scout report
Iker Kortajarena is a 26-year-old central midfielder at Al Kholood, rated 42.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 130th of 318 on scout potential in the Pro League. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (44% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.14 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kortajarena.
Judged on this season alone, Kortajarena graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 52nd of 65 of the 65 central midfielders in the Pro League, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 1.137 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 37 → 11). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 42, top 40% of the 65 central midfielders in the Pro League. At 26 Kortajarena is in his prime years, and a market index of 12.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Al Kholood finished 14th of 18 · a lower-table side
1.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 44% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.14 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 42.4, Kortajarena carries the 26th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Pro League (top 40%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Al Kholood finished 14th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
