Scout report
B. Soumaré is a 27-year-old central midfielder at Leicester, rated 46.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 335th of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (32.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.5 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Soumaré.
Judged on this season alone, Soumaré graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 57th of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship, on 0 goals, 2 assists and 2.497 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 19 → 15). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 46, 52nd of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship. At 27 Soumaré is in his prime years, and a market index of 21.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Soumaré missed 5 games through injury (knee) out of roughly 46 this season. The 16 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.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Leicester finished 23rd of 24 · a relegation-threatened side
2.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 16 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (23rd of 24) 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 32.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 46.1, Soumaré carries the 52nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship of 73, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Leicester finished 23rd of 24) — 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 (2.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
