Scout report

Squad depthCentral defender

S. Sow is a 24-year-old central defender at Clermont Foot, rated 57.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 98th of 313 on scout potential in the Ligue 2. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (59.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.59 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sow.

Judged on this season alone, Sow graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 46th of 66 of the 66 centre-backs in the Ligue 2, on 2 clean sheets and 2.586 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 31 → 18). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 58, top 26% of the 66 centre-backs in the Ligue 2. At 24 Sow is in his prime years, and a market index of 21.7 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Sow missed 19 games through injury (knee, jumpers knee) out of roughly 34 this season. The 12 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.

Outlook

With a Rating of 57.9, Sow carries the 17th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Ligue 2 of 66 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
