Squad depthCentral midfielder

N. Titkov is a 26-year-old central midfielder at Lokomotiv, rated 25.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 96th of 157 on scout potential in the Premier League. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (23.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.43 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Titkov.

Judged on this season alone, Titkov graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 27th of 30 of the 30 central midfielders in the Premier League, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 1.433 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 16 → 15). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2025/26.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 16th of 30 of the 30 central midfielders in the Premier League. At 26 Titkov is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.8 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 9 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.57 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 23.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 25.7, Titkov carries the 16th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League of 30 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.43 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.
