Scout report

Squad depthCentral midfielder

D. Ndoye is a 25-year-old central midfielder at Nottingham Forest, rated 70.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 206th of 376 on scout potential in the Premier League. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (38.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.68 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ndoye.

Judged on this season alone, Ndoye graded 20 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 31st of 35 of the 35 central midfielders in the Premier League, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 2.679 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 40 → 20). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 70, 20th of 35 of the 35 central midfielders in the Premier League. At 25 Ndoye is in his prime years, and a market index of 84.5 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Ndoye missed 4 games through injury (injury) out of roughly 38 this season. The 24 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

2.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th of 20) 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.15 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92.1/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 38.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 70.4, Ndoye carries the 20th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League of 35, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Nottingham Forest finished 16th of 20) — 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 (2.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
