Scout report

Solid contributorCentral defender

K. Diks is a 29-year-old central defender at Borussia Mönchengladbach, rated 53.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 205th of 320 on scout potential in the Bundesliga. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (80.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.06 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Diks.

Judged on this season alone, Diks graded 48 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 8% of the 57 centre-backs in the Bundesliga, on 10 clean sheets and 3.064 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 25 → 48). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 53, 34th of 57 of the 57 centre-backs in the Bundesliga. At 29 Diks is in his prime years, and a market index of 26.5 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Diks missed 4 games through injury (head, yellow cards, injury) out of roughly 34 this season. The 30 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.
