Scout report

Squad depthCentral midfielder

R. Ezhov is a 28-year-old central midfielder at FC Sochi, rated 19.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 216th of 276 on scout potential in the Premier League. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (32.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.35 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ezhov.

Judged on this season alone, Ezhov graded 4 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 54th of 56 of the 56 central midfielders in the Premier League, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 1.345 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 15 → 4). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 44th of 56 of the 56 central midfielders in the Premier League. At 28 Ezhov is in his prime years, and a market index of 1.2 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 18 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th 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 32.2% 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 19.1, Ezhov carries the 44th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League of 56 — though on just 18 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
