Experienced headCentral midfielder

N. Alho is a 33-year-old central midfielder at Asteras Tripolis, enjoying a standout season — 1 goals and 1 assists in 20 appearances, a Season grade of 13, top 74% of Super League 1 central midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 11.8, ranking 243rd of 267 in the Super League 1. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (50.1% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Alho.

Judged on this season alone, Alho graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 40th of 54 of the 54 central midfielders in the Super League 1, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 0.943 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 7 → 13). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 52nd of 54 of the 54 central midfielders in the Super League 1. At 33 Alho is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

0.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (14th of 14) 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 50.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 0.94 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 11.8, Alho carries the 52nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Super League 1 of 54, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Asteras Tripolis finished 14th of 14) — 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 light defensive volume (0.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
