L. Graham is a 22-year-old central defender at Stoke City, rated 66.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 137th of 272 on scout potential in the Championship and 502nd of 1756 U-23 players tracked. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (39.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.78 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Graham.
Judged on this season alone, Graham graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 26th of 54 of the 54 centre-backs in the Championship, on 2 clean sheets and 3.778 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 31 → 17). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2025/26.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 67, 26th of 54 of the 54 centre-backs in the Championship. At 22 Graham is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 29.1 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 6th of 24 · an upper-table side
3.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 9 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 24) 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 39.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 66.5, Graham carries the 26th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship of 54 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
