Scout report

Squad depthCentral midfielder

Arthur is a 23-year-old central midfielder at Bayer Leverkusen, rated 76 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 75th of 325 on scout potential in the Bundesliga. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (48.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.1 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Arthur.

Judged on this season alone, Arthur graded 32 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 22nd of 35 of the 35 central midfielders in the Bundesliga, on 1 goal, 3 assists and 3.101 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 10 → 32). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 76, top 35% of the 35 central midfielders in the Bundesliga. At 23 Arthur is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 45.4 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Arthur missed 8 games through injury (ankle, injury, back) out of roughly 34 this season. The 20 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

3.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 20 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 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.32 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.3/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 48.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 76, Arthur carries the 12th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Bundesliga (top 35%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. 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.
