Scout report
Marlon Gomes is a 22-year-old central midfielder at Shakhtar Donetsk, rated 40.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 10th of 157 on scout potential in the Premier League and 970th of 1772 U-23 players tracked. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (26.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Gomes.
Judged on this season alone, Gomes graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 22nd of 42 of the 42 central midfielders in the Premier League, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 2 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 20 → 12). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, top 5% of the 42 central midfielders in the Premier League. At 22 Gomes is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 6.1 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Shakhtar Donetsk finished 1st of 16 · a title-challenging side
2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 16) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.25 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 26.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 40.3, Gomes carries the 2nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League of 42 — though on just 19 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
