An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (22% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.56 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Quarshie.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 1 → 9). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

Clean sheets

2.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 24) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.

Strengths

  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 22% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 61.7, Quarshie carries the 29th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship of 82 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
