Caps & goals this season.
S. Sow is a 24-year-old central defender at Clermont Foot, rated 56.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 123rd of 321 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 47th of 64 of the 64 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 57, top 36% of the 64 centre-backs in the Ligue 2. At 24 Sow is in his prime years, and a market index of 58.8 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.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
2.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th of 18) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 56.5, Sow carries the 23rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Ligue 2 of 64 — 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. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~59), then tapers with age. At 24, Sow sits on 58.8, at or near its peak. The blue line is Sow's projected Rating — 56.5 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
