Scout report

Project playerWinger

Wendel is a 28-year-old winger at Zenit, rated 26.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 156th of 276 on scout potential in the Premier League. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (84.7% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Wendel.

Judged on this season alone, Wendel graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 8th of 18 of the 18 wingers in the Premier League, on 2 goals and 2 assists in 27 appearances (0.157 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 29 → 17). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 27, 10th of 18 of the 18 wingers in the Premier League. At 28 Wendel is in his prime years, and a market index of 1.9 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

2 goals in 27 appearances (0.07 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 4 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 84.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Output. 0.16 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 26.5, Wendel carries the 10th-highest potential of the wingers in the Premier League of 18. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.16 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
