Rising starGoal-getting Attacking midfielder

C. Uzun is a 20-year-old attacking midfielder at Eintracht Frankfurt, rated 84.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 18th of 325 on scout potential in the Bundesliga and 24th of 995 U-21 players tracked. A young player, he has been a rotation option this season (52.1% of available minutes). He brings 0.92 goal contributions per 90 (0.61 goals, 0.31 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Uzun.

Judged on this season alone, Uzun graded 50 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 11% of the 58 attacking midfielders in the Bundesliga, on 8 goals and 4 assists in 21 appearances (0.922 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 17 → 50). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 84, top 11% of the 58 attacking midfielders in the Bundesliga. At 20 Uzun is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 42.8 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Uzun missed 9 games through injury (muscle, injury) out of roughly 34 this season. The 21 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

8 goals in 21 appearances (0.38 per game) for a mid-table side. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 12 goal contributions (0.57 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.92 goal contributions per 90 (0.61 goals, 0.31 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 52.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.46 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 84.3, Uzun carries the 6th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Bundesliga (top 11%). In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.92 goal contributions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
