Scout report

Squad depthDefensive midfielder

T. Ayari is a 21-year-old defensive midfielder at AIK Stockholm, rated 35 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 43rd of 248 on scout potential in the Allsvenskan and 2111th of 2870 U-23 players tracked. A young player, he has been a rotation option this season (36.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.95 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ayari.

Judged on this season alone, Ayari graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 40th of 59 of the 59 central midfielders in the Allsvenskan, on 0 goals, 2 assists and 3.953 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 9 → 16). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 35, top 17% of the 59 central midfielders in the Allsvenskan. At 21 Ayari is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 4.1 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Ayari missed 7 games through injury (knee) out of roughly 30 this season. The 18 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.

Clean sheets

3.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.18 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 3.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 36.3% 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 35, Ayari carries the 10th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Allsvenskan (top 17%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
