Scout report
D. Yankov is a 26-year-old attacking midfielder at Lokomotiv Sofia, rated 26.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 114th of 252 on scout potential in the First League. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (22% of available minutes). He brings 0.37 goal contributions per 90 (0.25 goals, 0.12 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Yankov.
Judged on this season alone, Yankov graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 29th of 44 of the 44 attacking midfielders in the First League, on 2 goals and 1 assist in 14 appearances (0.368 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 9 → 9).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 27, 22nd of 44 of the 44 attacking midfielders in the First League. At 26 Yankov is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Yankov missed 6 games through injury (groin) out of roughly 37 this season. The 14 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.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.

Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.37 goal contributions per 90 (0.25 goals, 0.12 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 22% 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 26.8, Yankov carries the 22nd-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the First League of 44 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.37 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
