Clean sheets

3.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 18) 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 73.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — 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 65.3, Koné carries the 3rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Ligue 2 (top 5%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
