Scout report
O. Zinchenko is a 29-year-old full-back at Nottingham Forest, rated 42.2 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (20.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.31 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Zinchenko.
On the season, Zinchenko graded 10 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 3.314 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 8 → 10). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 42. At 29 Zinchenko is in his prime years, and a market index of 27.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Zinchenko missed 21 games through injury (knee, groin, muscle) out of roughly 38 this season. The 5 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2023/24 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
3.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 5 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.
Strengths
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92.1/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 20.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 42.2 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
