Scout report

Squad depthCentre-forward

S. Ngoma is a 21-year-old centre-forward at New York Red Bulls, rated 39.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 151st of 513 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer and 1839th of 2878 U-23 players tracked. A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (27% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ngoma.

Judged on this season alone, Ngoma graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 61st of 64 of the 64 centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer, on 1 goal and 0 assists in 20 appearances (0.137 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 2 → 6). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, top 25% of the 64 centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer. At 21 Ngoma is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 6.7 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Ngoma missed 7 games through injury (injury, back) out of roughly 34 this season. The 20 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.

1 goal in 20 appearances (0.05 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 27% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.14 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 39.8, Ngoma carries the 16th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer of 64 — though on just 20 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.14 goal contributions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
