Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cook.
Judged on this season alone, Cook graded 29 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 37th of 55 of the 55 defensive midfielders in the Premier League, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 5.47 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 50 → 29). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 51, 43rd of 55 of the 55 defensive midfielders in the Premier League. At 29 Cook is in his prime years, and a market index of 55.8 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Cook missed 13 games through injury and 3 suspensions (hamstring, jumpers knee) out of roughly 38 this season. The 18 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 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
5.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 20) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 50.7, Cook carries the 43rd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premier League of 55. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~101), then tapers with age. At 29, Cook sits on 55.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Cook's projected Rating — 50.7 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
