An emerging talent, he has been an ever-present this season (91% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.97 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Wesley.

Judged on this season alone, Wesley graded 71 — a standout campaign that ranks top 2% of the 50 full-backs in the Serie A, on 13 clean sheets and 2.967 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 40 → 71). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 91, top 2% of the 50 full-backs in the Serie A. At 22 Wesley is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 69.2 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Wesley missed 7 games through injury and 2 suspensions (muscle, yellow cards, stomach disorder) out of roughly 38 this season. The 30 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

2.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 13 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 20) 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. Going forward he chipped in 5 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 91% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.18 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92/100).
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 91.3, Wesley carries the 1st-highest potential of the full-backs in the Serie A (top 2%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
