N. Cozza is a 27-year-old central defender at Nantes, rated 60.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 202nd of 324 in the France tier 1. In his prime years, he has been a regular starter this season (78.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.79 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cozza.
Judged on this season alone, Cozza graded 26 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 35th of 53 of the 53 centre-backs in the France tier 1, on 5 clean sheets and 2.793 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 29 → 26). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 60, 33rd of 53 of the 53 centre-backs in the France tier 1. At 27 Cozza is in his prime years, and a market index of 97.8 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
2.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (17th of 18) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 60.4, Cozza carries the 33rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the France tier 1 of 53, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Nantes finished 17th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~98), then tapers with age. At 27, Cozza sits on 97.8, at or near its peak. The blue line is Cozza's projected Rating — 60.4 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
