An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (56.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.98 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Okagbue.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 39 → 19). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 45, top 15% of the 88 centre-backs in the League One. At 22 Okagbue is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 9.5 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (18th of 24) 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 56.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 45, Okagbue carries the 13th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League One (top 15%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Peterborough finished 18th of 24) — 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 (2.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
