Scout report
N. Chernov is a 30-year-old central defender at Krylia Sovetov, enjoying a standout season — 2 goals and 0 assists in 9 appearances, a Season grade of 20, top 63% of Premier League centre-backs. On long-term scout potential he's rated 18.7, ranking 131st of 157 in the Premier League. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter (60% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.56 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Chernov.
Judged on this season alone, Chernov graded 20 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 25th of 40 of the 40 centre-backs in the Premier League, on 2 clean sheets and 3.556 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 14 → 20). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 32nd of 40 of the 40 centre-backs in the Premier League. At 30 Chernov is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.7 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Krylia Sovetov finished 11th of 16 · a lower-table side
3.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 9 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th of 16) 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
- Availability. On the pitch for 60% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.22 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
- Defensive volume. 3.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 18.7, Chernov carries the 32nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier League of 40 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
