Scout report

Travis Akomeah is a 20-year-old central defender at Watford, rated 30.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 238th of 272 on scout potential in the Championship and 538th of 641 U-21 players tracked. A young player, he has been a rotation option this season (38% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.32 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Akomeah.

Judged on this season alone, Akomeah graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 37th of 54 of the 54 centre-backs in the Championship, on 2 clean sheets and 3.316 defensive actions per 90.

We hold a single season for Akomeah, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, 48th of 54 of the 54 centre-backs in the Championship. At 20 Akomeah is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 12.1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (20th of 24) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 38% 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 30.8, Akomeah carries the 48th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship of 54 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
