Scout report

Experienced headGoalkeeper

A. Begović is a 39-year-old goalkeeper at Leicester, rated 7.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 492nd of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (25% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Begović.

Judged on this season alone, Begović graded 1 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 44th of 44 of the 44 goalkeepers in the Championship, on 1 clean sheet across 11 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 28 → 1). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 7, 43rd of 44 of the 44 goalkeepers in the Championship. At 39 Begović is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.8 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Begović missed 4 games through injury (injury, ankle) out of roughly 46 this season. The 11 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.

1 clean sheet in 11 appearances (9% of games). Keeping that many behind a relegation-threatened side (23rd of 24) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 25% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 39, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 7.2, Begović carries the 43rd-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Championship of 44 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
