Scout report
J. Araujo is a 24-year-old central defender at Celtic, rated 42.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 88th of 225 on scout potential in the Premiership. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (23% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.88 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Araujo.
Judged on this season alone, Araujo graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 26th of 35 of the 35 centre-backs in the Premiership, on 3 clean sheets and 3.883 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 12). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 43, top 38% of the 35 centre-backs in the Premiership. At 24 Araujo is in his prime years, and a market index of 9.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Celtic finished 3rd of 12 · an upper-table side
3.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 10 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 12) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 23% 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 42.6, Araujo carries the 13th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premiership of 35 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
