His defensive output reads 2.54 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Dájome.

Judged on this season alone, Dájome graded 30 — a strong campaign that ranks top 30% of the 30 defensive midfielders in the Liga MX, on 5 goals, 1 assist and 2.535 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 19 → 30). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 29th of 30 of the 30 defensive midfielders in the Liga MX. At 32 Dájome is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.3 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 5 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.38 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 46.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 19.2, Dájome carries the 29th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Liga MX of 30, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Santos Laguna finished 18th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
