Scout report
R. Idowu is a 24-year-old central midfielder at ST Mirren, rated 40.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 107th of 225 on scout potential in the Premiership. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (35.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.88 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Idowu.
Judged on this season alone, Idowu graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 21st of 21 of the 21 central midfielders in the Premiership, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 1.881 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 17 → 6). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, top 39% of the 21 central midfielders in the Premiership. At 24 Idowu is in his prime years, and a market index of 9 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · ST Mirren finished 10th of 12 · a relegation-threatened side
1.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (10th of 12) 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 35.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.88 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 40.1, Idowu carries the 8th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premiership (top 39%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (ST Mirren finished 10th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
