Scout report

Squad depthCentral defender

N. Djiga is a 23-year-old central defender at Wolves, rated 62.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 124th of 272 on scout potential in the Championship. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (38.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.73 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Djiga.

Judged on this season alone, Djiga graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 35th of 54 of the 54 centre-backs in the Championship, on 2 clean sheets and 2.734 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 29 → 14). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2025/26.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 63, 25th of 54 of the 54 centre-backs in the Championship. At 23 Djiga is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 29 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 9 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (7th of 24) 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.

  • Game time. Only 38.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 62.9, Djiga carries the 25th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship of 54 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
