Scout report

Squad depthBall-winning Defensive midfielder

K. Sessa is a 26-year-old defensive midfielder at Hertha BSC, rated 49.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 180th of 320 on scout potential in the 2. Bundesliga. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (24.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.16 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sessa.

Judged on this season alone, Sessa graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 32nd of 37 of the 37 defensive midfielders in the 2. Bundesliga, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 4.163 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 12 → 12). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 49, 23rd of 37 of the 37 defensive midfielders in the 2. Bundesliga. At 26 Sessa is in his prime years, and a market index of 18.8 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

4.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 24.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 49.2, Sessa carries the 23rd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the 2. Bundesliga of 37 — though on just 21 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions 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.
