An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (46.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.67 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Lajami.

Judged on this season alone, Lajami graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 36th of 61 of the 61 centre-backs in the Pro League, on 3 clean sheets and 3.673 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 13 → 17). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 28, 34th of 61 of the 61 centre-backs in the Pro League. At 30 Lajami is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.2 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 46.4% 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 28.2, Lajami carries the 34th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Pro League of 61. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
