Scout report

Squad depthDefensive midfielder

A. Keller is a 22-year-old defensive midfielder at SpVgg Greuther Fürth, rated 57.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 112th of 320 on scout potential in the 2. Bundesliga and 801st of 2874 U-23 players tracked. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (59.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.22 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Keller.

Judged on this season alone, Keller graded 25 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 19th of 37 of the 37 defensive midfielders in the 2. Bundesliga, on 2 goals, 1 assist and 2.219 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 22 → 25). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 58, 15th of 37 of the 37 defensive midfielders in the 2. Bundesliga. At 22 Keller is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 20.8 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th 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 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 59.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 57.5, Keller carries the 15th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the 2. Bundesliga of 37, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (SpVgg Greuther Fürth finished 16th 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 moderate defensive volume (2.22 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.
