Scout report

Squad depthCentral midfielder

B. Gilmour is a 25-year-old central midfielder at Napoli, rated 72.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 119th of 388 on scout potential in the Serie A. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (33% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.92 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Gilmour.

Judged on this season alone, Gilmour graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 56th of 68 of the 68 central midfielders in the Serie A, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 2.918 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 13 → 16). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 73, top 21% of the 68 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 25 Gilmour is in his prime years, and a market index of 45 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Gilmour missed 11 games through injury (groin) out of roughly 38 this season. The 17 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

2.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 20) 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92.5/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 33% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 72.7, Gilmour carries the 14th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A of 68 — though on just 17 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
