Squad depthCentral midfielder

J. Aribo is a 30-year-old central midfielder at Leicester, rated 25 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (6.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.42 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Aribo.

On the season, Aribo graded 1 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 0 assists and 1.417 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 34 → 1). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 25. At 30 Aribo is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.8 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 13 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (23rd of 24) 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 6.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 25 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
