All Jupiler Pro League standouts →One of the biggest game-time risers in the Jupiler Pro League: on the pitch for 89% of Gent's available minutes this season, up from 24% last year — a bench-to-starter jump the ratings will catch up with at the next checkpoint.
M. Sonko is a 21-year-old winger at Gent, rated 53.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 48th of 145 on scout potential in the Jupiler Pro League and 400th of 1753 U-23 players tracked. A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (23.5% of available minutes). He brings 0.21 goal contributions per 90 (0 goals, 0.21 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sonko.
Judged on this season alone, Sonko graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 9th of 10 of the 10 wingers in the Jupiler Pro League, on 0 goals and 2 assists in 28 appearances (0.207 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 6 → 6). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 54, top 40% of the 10 wingers in the Jupiler Pro League. At 21 Sonko is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 15.3 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Gent finished 1st of 18 · a title-challenging side
0 goals in 28 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 2 goal contributions in all.
Strengths
- Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 23.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Output. 0.21 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
Outlook
With a Rating of 53.6, Sonko carries the 4th-highest potential of the wingers in the Jupiler Pro League of 10 — though on just 28 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.21 goal contributions 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.
