Scout report

Squad depthCentral midfielder

S. Ben Sallam is a 25-year-old central midfielder at Panserraikos, rated 32.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 44th of 126 on scout potential in the Super League 1. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (24.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.14 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sallam.

Judged on this season alone, Sallam graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 22nd of 25 of the 25 central midfielders in the Super League 1, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 2.143 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 9). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 32, 13th of 25 of the 25 central midfielders in the Super League 1. At 25 Sallam is in his prime years, and a market index of 5.1 reflects that trajectory.

2.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 16 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (13th of 14) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 24.6% 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 32.2, Sallam carries the 13th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Super League 1 of 25 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
