Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kayembe.
Judged on this season alone, Kayembe graded 25 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 24th of 52 of the 52 full-backs in the Jupiler Pro League, on 6 clean sheets and 3.624 defensive actions per 90.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 27, 50th of 52 of the 52 full-backs in the Jupiler Pro League. At 31 Kayembe is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.8 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
