Scout report
N. Savona is a 23-year-old central defender at Nottingham Forest, rated 74.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 51st of 193 on scout potential in the Premier League. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (30% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.37 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Savona.
Judged on this season alone, Savona graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 32nd of 34 of the 34 centre-backs in the Premier League, on 3 clean sheets and 2.368 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 36 → 12).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 75, top 30% of the 34 centre-backs in the Premier League. At 23 Savona is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 89.5 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Nottingham Forest finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side
2.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th 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 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 defender.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92.1/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 30% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 74.6, Savona carries the 10th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier League of 34 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
