Scout report
L. Leroy is a 26-year-old defensive midfielder at Preston, rated 50.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 195th of 272 on scout potential in the Championship. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (39.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.66 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Leroy.
Judged on this season alone, Leroy graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 21st of 24 of the 24 defensive midfielders in the Championship, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.658 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 30 → 12). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2025/26.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 50, 15th of 24 of the 24 defensive midfielders in the Championship. At 26 Leroy is in his prime years, and a market index of 23.2 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2025/26 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Preston finished 24th of 24 · a relegation-threatened side
3.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 11 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (24th of 24) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 39.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 50.3, Leroy carries the 15th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Championship of 24 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
