Scout report

Squad depthCentral midfielder

K. Dembélé is a 23-year-old central midfielder at QPR, rated 63.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 145th of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (56.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.64 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Dembélé.

Judged on this season alone, Dembélé graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 50th of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 1.644 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 17 → 17). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 64, top 29% of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship. At 23 Dembélé is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 29.4 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Dembélé missed 16 games through injury (knee, injury) out of roughly 46 this season. The 28 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.

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.64 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 63.7, Dembélé carries the 21st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship (top 29%). Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
