V. Lekhal is a 32-year-old defensive midfielder at Al Riyadh, rated 19.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 258th of 300 in the Pro League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (44.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.53 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Lekhal.
Judged on this season alone, Lekhal graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 19th of 29 of the 29 defensive midfielders in the Pro League, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 3.533 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 51 → 17). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 24th of 29 of the 29 defensive midfielders in the Pro League. At 32 Lekhal is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.4 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
3.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 19.4, Lekhal carries the 24th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Pro League of 29, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Al Riyadh finished 15th 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 solid defensive volume (3.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~16), then tapers with age. At 32, Lekhal sits on 6.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Lekhal's projected Rating — 19.4 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
