Scout report
W. Troost-Ekong is a 32-year-old central defender at Al Kholood, rated 23.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 243rd of 317 on scout potential in the Pro League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter this season (71.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.05 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Troost-Ekong.
Judged on this season alone, Troost-Ekong graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 40th of 61 of the 61 centre-backs in the Pro League, on 2 clean sheets and 2.053 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 23 → 15). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 24, 40th of 61 of the 61 centre-backs in the Pro League. At 32 Troost-Ekong is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Al Kholood finished 14th of 18 · a lower-table side
2.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 71.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 23.7, Troost-Ekong carries the 40th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Pro League of 61 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
