Scout report

Experienced headAttacking midfielder

N. Chalobah is a 31-year-old attacking midfielder at Sheffield Wednesday, rated 24.1 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (14.3% of available minutes). He brings 0.46 goal contributions per 90 (0.3 goals, 0.15 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Chalobah.

On the season, Chalobah graded 8 for current form (age-blind), on 2 goals and 1 assist in 13 appearances (0.456 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 4 → 8). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 24. At 31 Chalobah is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Chalobah missed 26 games through injury (leg, hamstring, injured) out of roughly 46 this season. The 13 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Goals / app

2 goals in 13 appearances (0.15 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 3 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.46 goal contributions per 90 (0.3 goals, 0.15 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 14.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 24.1 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.46 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
