Scout report

Squad depthDefensive midfielder

D. Oyegoke is a 23-year-old defensive midfielder at Hellas Verona, rated 64.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 205th of 388 on scout potential in the Serie A. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (25.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.42 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Oyegoke.

Judged on this season alone, Oyegoke graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 56th of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.416 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 16 → 8). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 65, 29th of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 23 Oyegoke is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 40 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Oyegoke missed 12 games through injury (foot, injury, inactive) out of roughly 38 this season. The 15 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

3.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 15 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 25.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 64.6, Oyegoke carries the 29th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A of 57 — though on just 15 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
