Scout report

Squad depthFull-back

Jadel Katongo is a 21-year-old full-back at Kayserispor, rated 40.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 118th of 326 on scout potential in the Süper Lig and 1747th of 2874 U-23 players tracked. A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (20.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.95 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Katongo.

Judged on this season alone, Katongo graded 5 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 62nd of 62 of the 62 full-backs in the Süper Lig, on 1 clean sheet and 2.949 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 8 → 5). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 41, 25th of 62 of the 62 full-backs in the Süper Lig. At 21 Katongo is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 8.4 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 10 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (17th 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 20.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 40.7, Katongo carries the 25th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Süper Lig of 62 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
