Mahmoud Shabana is a 31-year-old central defender at Al Ittihad, rated 14.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 304th of 383 on scout potential in the Premier League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (36.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.25 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Shabana.

Judged on this season alone, Shabana graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 54th of 85 of the 85 centre-backs in the Premier League, on 4 clean sheets and 2.252 defensive actions per 90.

We hold a single season for Shabana, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 15, 68th of 85 of the 85 centre-backs in the Premier League. At 31 Shabana is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.3 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 21) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 36.3% 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 14.7, Shabana carries the 68th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier League of 85 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
