Scout report

Squad depthCentral midfielder

C. Ejuke is a 28-year-old central midfielder at Sevilla, rated 49.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 272nd of 389 on scout potential in the La Liga. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (31.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.45 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ejuke.

Judged on this season alone, Ejuke graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 57th of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the La Liga, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 2.453 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 12 → 17). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 49, 56th of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the La Liga. At 28 Ejuke is in his prime years, and a market index of 19.6 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Ejuke missed 4 games through injury (international duty, injured doubtful, hamstring) out of roughly 38 this season. The 27 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.

Clean sheets

2.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.19 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 89.9/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 31.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 49.3, Ejuke carries the 56th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the La Liga of 73. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
