Scout report
L. Bombino is a 20-year-old full-back at Stoke City, rated 45.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 94th of 152 on scout potential in the Championship and 215th of 561 U-21 players tracked. A young player, he has been a regular starter this season (77.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.5 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bombino.
Judged on this season alone, Bombino graded 40 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 9th of 19 of the 19 full-backs in the Championship, on 4 clean sheets and 4.504 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 44 → 40).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 46, 16th of 19 of the 19 full-backs in the Championship. At 20 Bombino is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 26.3 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2025/26 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Stoke City finished 24th of 24 · a relegation-threatened side
4.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 17 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 77.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.15 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Defensive volume. 4.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 45.9, Bombino carries the 16th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Championship of 19, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Stoke City finished 24th of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
