Scout report
C. Ndiaye is a 30-year-old centre-forward at Samsunspor, enjoying a standout season — 7 goals and 1 assists in 23 appearances, a Season grade of 30, top 56% of Süper Lig centre-forwards. On long-term scout potential he's rated 27.6, ranking 217th of 326 in the Süper Lig. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option (54.9% of available minutes). He brings 0.5 goal contributions per 90 (0.44 goals, 0.06 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ndiaye.
Judged on this season alone, Ndiaye graded 30 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 19th of 34 of the 34 centre-forwards in the Süper Lig, on 7 goals and 1 assist in 23 appearances (0.502 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 4 → 30). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 28, 20th of 34 of the 34 centre-forwards in the Süper Lig. At 30 Ndiaye is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Ndiaye missed 3 games through injury and 2 suspensions (international duty, inactive) out of roughly 34 this season. The 23 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.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Samsunspor finished 7th of 18 · a mid-table side
7 goals in 23 appearances (0.3 per game) for a mid-table side. Add 1 assist for 8 goal contributions in all.
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.5 goal contributions per 90 (0.44 goals, 0.06 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 54.9% 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 27.6, Ndiaye carries the 20th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Süper Lig of 34. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.5 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
