Scout report
S. Otoa is a 22-year-old central defender at Genoa, rated 67.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 161st of 380 on scout potential in the Serie A and 375th of 2847 U-23 players tracked. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (24.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.31 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Otoa.
Judged on this season alone, Otoa graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 70th of 74 of the 74 centre-backs in the Serie A, on 2 clean sheets and 3.31 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 9 → 10). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 68, 31st of 74 of the 74 centre-backs in the Serie A. At 22 Otoa is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 39.7 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Otoa missed 6 games through injury (muscle, inactive) out of roughly 38 this season. The 13 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.
Otoa is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
Output in context · Genoa finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side
3.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th 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.
Strengths
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 24.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 67.5, Otoa carries the 31st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A of 74 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
