Output in context · Borussia Dortmund finished 2nd of 18 · a title-challenging side
4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 92% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 19 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 52.118, Gadou carries the 36th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Bundesliga of 54. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 19, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
