Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ndiaye.

Judged on this season alone, Ndiaye graded 40 — a solid campaign that ranks top 33% of the 73 attacking midfielders in the Premier League, on 6 goals and 3 assists in 32 appearances (0.289 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 38 → 40). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 83, top 35% of the 73 attacking midfielders in the Premier League. At 26 Ndiaye is in his prime years, and a market index of 99 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Ndiaye missed 5 games through injury (international duty) out of roughly 38 this season. The 32 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.

6 goals in 32 appearances (0.19 per game) for a mid-table side. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 9 goal contributions (0.28 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 94.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 93.7/100).

Watch points

  • Output. 0.29 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.

Outlook

With a Rating of 82.5, Ndiaye carries the 25th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Premier League (top 35%). In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.29 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.
