Scout report

Experienced headBall-winning Central defender

Luis Pérez is a 31-year-old central defender at Gaziantep FK, rated 21.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 96th of 125 on scout potential in the Süper Lig. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (54.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.21 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pérez.

Judged on this season alone, Pérez graded 20 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 19th of 28 of the 28 centre-backs in the Süper Lig, on 3 clean sheets and 4.214 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 20 → 20). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 22, 23rd of 28 of the 28 centre-backs in the Süper Lig. At 31 Pérez is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.4 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

4.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 54.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 21.9, Pérez carries the 23rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Süper Lig of 28. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
