Squad depthFull-back

Souza is a 20-year-old full-back at Tottenham, rated 69.2 overall by Field Insider's model. A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (8.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.25 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Souza.

On the season, Souza graded 1 for current form (age-blind), on 0 clean sheets and 1.25 defensive actions per 90.

We hold a single season for Souza, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 69. At 20 Souza is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 70.6 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Souza missed 8 games through injury (ankle, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 4 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.

Clean sheets

1.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 4 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th of 20) 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.

Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 91.6/100).
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 8.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 69.2 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
