Gyabi is a 22-year-old central midfielder at Hull City, rated 62.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 163rd of 493 on scout potential in the Championship and 541st of 2874 U-23 players tracked. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (25.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.7 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Gyabi.

Judged on this season alone, Gyabi graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 56th of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship, on 2 goals, 0 assists and 2.704 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 30 → 16). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 63, top 33% of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship. At 22 Gyabi is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 27.4 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Gyabi missed 18 games through injury (groin, inactive) out of roughly 49 this season. The 20 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

2.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.26 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 25.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 62.7, Gyabi carries the 24th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship of 73 — though on just 20 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
