Experienced headGoal-getting Centre-forward

C. Bakambu is a 35-year-old centre-forward at Real Betis, rated 16.4 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (18.8% of available minutes). He brings 0.61 goal contributions per 90 (0.46 goals, 0.15 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bakambu.

On the season, Bakambu graded 14 for current form (age-blind), on 3 goals and 1 assist in 18 appearances (0.607 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 13 → 14). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 16. At 35 Bakambu is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.7 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Bakambu missed 3 games through injury (international duty) out of roughly 38 this season. The 18 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

3 goals in 18 appearances (0.17 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 4 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.61 goal contributions per 90 (0.46 goals, 0.15 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 94/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 18.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 16.4 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.61 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
