Scout report
S. Esposito is a 25-year-old central midfielder at Spezia, rated 53.5 overall by Field Insider's model. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (50.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.01 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Esposito.
On the season, Esposito graded 24 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal, 2 assists and 3.012 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 24 → 24). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 54. At 25 Esposito is in his prime years, and a market index of 21.2 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Spezia finished 19th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
3.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th of 20) 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 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 50.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 53.5 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.01 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.
