Scout report

Squad depthAttacking midfielder

C. Lang is a 27-year-old attacking midfielder at Portsmouth, rated 51.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 299th of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (39.7% of available minutes). He brings 0.44 goal contributions per 90 (0.22 goals, 0.22 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Lang.

Judged on this season alone, Lang graded 21 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 41st of 69 of the 69 attacking midfielders in the Championship, on 2 goals and 2 assists in 13 appearances (0.438 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 34 → 21). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 51, 52nd of 69 of the 69 attacking midfielders in the Championship. At 27 Lang is in his prime years, and a market index of 23.6 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Lang missed 24 games through injury (hamstring, inactive, injured) out of roughly 46 this season. The 13 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.

Goals / app

2 goals in 13 appearances (0.15 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 4 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.44 goal contributions per 90 (0.22 goals, 0.22 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 39.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.97 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 51.3, Lang carries the 52nd-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Championship of 69 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.44 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
