Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Nahounou.
Judged on this season alone, Nahounou graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 31st of 40 of the 40 centre-backs in the Ligue 2, on 2 clean sheets and 4.268 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 13 → 13).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 54, top 40% of the 40 centre-backs in the Ligue 2. At 22 Nahounou is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 19 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Nancy finished 14th of 18 · a lower-table side
4.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 15 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 31% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 53.5, Nahounou carries the 16th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Ligue 2 (top 40%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Nancy finished 14th 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 (4.27 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.
