Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Oudenhove.

Judged on this season alone, Oudenhove graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 5th of 10 of the 10 defensive midfielders in the Challenger Pro League, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 4.994 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 2 → 13). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

Clean sheets

4.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th of 17) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 28.8% 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 31.5, Oudenhove carries the 8th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Challenger Pro League of 10 — though on just 21 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.99 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.
