Scout report

Squad depthCentral midfielder

M. Hongla is a 28-year-old central midfielder at Aris Thessalonikis, rated 25.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 141st of 267 on scout potential in the Super League 1. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (34% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.76 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hongla.

Judged on this season alone, Hongla graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 30th of 54 of the 54 central midfielders in the Super League 1, on 2 goals, 0 assists and 2.755 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 31 → 15). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 36th of 54 of the 54 central midfielders in the Super League 1. At 28 Hongla is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.4 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.18 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 34% 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 25.7, Hongla carries the 36th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Super League 1 of 54 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
