Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Arguioui.

Judged on this season alone, Arguioui graded 39 — a strong campaign that ranks top 28% of the 36 attacking midfielders in the Eerste Divisie, on 11 goals and 4 assists in 27 appearances (0.741 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 17 → 39). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 58, top 25% of the 36 attacking midfielders in the Eerste Divisie. At 21 Arguioui is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 17.3 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Arguioui missed 27 games through injury (jumpers knee, knee) out of roughly 38 this season. The 27 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.

Goals / app

11 goals in 27 appearances (0.41 per game) — double figures playing for a mid-table side (12th of 20). He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 15 goal contributions (0.56 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.74 goal contributions per 90 (0.54 goals, 0.2 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 53.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.73 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 58, Arguioui carries the 9th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Eerste Divisie (top 25%). In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.74 goal contributions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
