Scout report
K. Ayhan is a 31-year-old defensive midfielder at Galatasaray, rated 18.8 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (15% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.65 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ayhan.
On the season, Ayhan graded 8 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal, 0 assists and 3.652 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 31 → 8). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 19. At 31 Ayhan is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Ayhan missed 3 games through injury (injury) out of roughly 34 this season. The 19 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.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Galatasaray finished 1st of 18 · a title-challenging side
3.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 18) 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
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.22 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 3.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 15% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 18.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
