Scout report
Kim Jin-Hyeon is a 39-year-old goalkeeper at Cerezo Osaka, rated 5.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 377th of 377 on scout potential in the J1 League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (21.4% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Jin-Hyeon.
Judged on this season alone, Jin-Hyeon graded 1 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 31st of 31 of the 31 goalkeepers in the J1 League, on 1 clean sheet across 9 appearances.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 25 → 1). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 6, 31st of 31 of the 31 goalkeepers in the J1 League. At 39 Jin-Hyeon is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.4 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Cerezo Osaka finished 10th of 20 · a mid-table side
1 clean sheet in 9 appearances (11% of games).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 21.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 39, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 5.5, Jin-Hyeon carries the 31st-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the J1 League of 31 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
