Scout report
C. Talbi is a 21-year-old attacking midfielder at Sunderland, rated 88.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 48th of 376 on scout potential in the Premier League and 35th of 2878 U-23 players tracked. A young player, he has been a rotation option this season (54.2% of available minutes). He brings 0.29 goal contributions per 90 (0.23 goals, 0.06 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Talbi.
Judged on this season alone, Talbi graded 25 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 39th of 73 of the 73 attacking midfielders in the Premier League, on 4 goals and 1 assist in 28 appearances (0.288 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 19 → 25). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 88, top 28% of the 73 attacking midfielders in the Premier League. At 21 Talbi is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 95.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Talbi missed 6 games through injury (international duty, muscle) out of roughly 38 this season. The 28 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.
Talbi is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.

Strengths
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 96.8/100).
- Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 54.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Output. 0.29 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 0.81 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Outlook
With a Rating of 88.1, Talbi carries the 20th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Premier League (top 28%). In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.29 goal contributions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
