Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Keybus.

Judged on this season alone, Keybus graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 15th of 18 of the 18 central midfielders in the Jupiler Pro League, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 2.368 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 28 → 11). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.

Clean sheets

2.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 18) 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 31.7% 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 44.4, Keybus carries the 12th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Jupiler Pro League of 18, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (KVC Westerlo finished 18th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
