Scout report
P. Daka is a 27-year-old centre-forward at Leicester, rated 51.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 289th of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (53.8% of available minutes). He brings 0.39 goal contributions per 90 (0.22 goals, 0.17 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Daka.
Judged on this season alone, Daka graded 26 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 31st of 66 of the 66 centre-forwards in the Championship, on 5 goals and 4 assists in 41 appearances (0.389 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 6 → 26). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 52, 42nd of 66 of the 66 centre-forwards in the Championship. At 27 Daka is in his prime years, and a market index of 23.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Daka missed 3 games through injury (international duty) out of roughly 46 this season. The 41 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.
Daka is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
Output in context · Leicester finished 23rd of 24 · a relegation-threatened side
5 goals in 41 appearances (0.12 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a relegation-threatened side. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 9 goal contributions (0.22 per appearance).
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.39 goal contributions per 90 (0.22 goals, 0.17 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 53.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 51.9, Daka carries the 42nd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Championship of 66, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Leicester finished 23rd of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.39 goal contributions 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. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
