On long-term talent our Rating reads 62, top 25% of the 29 centre-backs in the Championship. At 22 Quarshie is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 27 reflects that trajectory.
Quarshie is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
Output in context · Southampton finished 4th of 24 · an upper-table side
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 7th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship of 29 — 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.
