Experienced headDefensive midfielder

Zheng Kaimu is a 34-year-old defensive midfielder at Wuhan Three Towns, enjoying a standout season — 0 goals and 0 assists in 21 appearances, a Season grade of 8, top 100% of Super League defensive midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 6.8, ranking 265th of 279 in the Super League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (34.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.29 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kaimu.

Judged on this season alone, Kaimu graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 27th of 27 of the 27 defensive midfielders in the Super League, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.294 defensive actions per 90.

We hold a single season for Kaimu, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 7, 27th of 27 of the 27 defensive midfielders in the Super League. At 34 Kaimu is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.3 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 21 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th of 16) 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 34.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 34, 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 6.8, Kaimu carries the 27th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Super League of 27, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Wuhan Three Towns finished 13th of 16) — 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 (3.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
