Scout report
Tiago Santos is a 24-year-old full-back at Lille, rated 68.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 164th of 337 on scout potential in the Ligue 1. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (28.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.48 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Santos.
Judged on this season alone, Santos graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 60th of 63 of the 63 full-backs in the Ligue 1, on 3 clean sheets and 2.476 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 16). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 69, 31st of 63 of the 63 full-backs in the Ligue 1. At 24 Santos is in his prime years, and a market index of 39.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Santos missed 6 games through injury (jumpers knee, knee, inactive) out of roughly 34 this season. The 15 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.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Lille finished 3rd of 18 · an upper-table side
2.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.
Strengths
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.9/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 28.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 68.5, Santos carries the 31st-highest potential of the full-backs in the Ligue 1 of 63 — though on just 15 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
