Scout report

Squad depthAttacking midfielder

K. Nono is a 24-year-old attacking midfielder at DC United, rated 40.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 249th of 525 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (33.3% of available minutes). He brings 0.42 goal contributions per 90 (0.21 goals, 0.21 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Nono.

Judged on this season alone, Nono graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 46th of 46 of the 46 attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 2 goals and 2 assists in 12 appearances (0.415 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 32 → 14). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 41, 24th of 46 of the 46 attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 24 Nono is in his prime years, and a market index of 7.6 reflects that trajectory.

2 goals in 12 appearances (0.17 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 4 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.42 goal contributions per 90 (0.21 goals, 0.21 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Defensive volume. 3.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 33.3% 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 40.6, Nono carries the 24th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 46 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.42 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
