His defensive output reads 1.79 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Tel.
On the season, Tel graded 27 for current form (age-blind), on 4 goals, 1 assist and 1.789 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 20 → 20). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 80. At 21 Tel is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 86.7 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Tottenham finished 17th of 20 · a lower-table side
1.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th of 20) 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. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.33 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 91.6/100).
- Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 39.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.79 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Outlook
Rated 80.3 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
