On long-term scout potential he's rated 17.4, ranking 27th of 28 in the Premier League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (47.7% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Polehenko.

Judged on this season alone, Polehenko graded 28 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 7th of 7 of the 7 centre-backs in the Premier League, on 4 clean sheets and 0.14 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 23 → 3). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 7th of 7 of the 7 centre-backs in the Premier League. At 31 Polehenko is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

0.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 8 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 47.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 0.14 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Age curve. At 31, 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 17.4, Polehenko carries the 7th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier League of 7 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
