Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ketelaere.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 42 → 33). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 83, top 22% of the 37 attacking midfielders in the Serie A. At 25 Ketelaere is in his prime years, and a market index of 51.5 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Ketelaere missed 6 games through injury (knee, injury, muscle) out of roughly 38 this season. The 31 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.
