We hold a single season for Samb, 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 52, 37th of 66 of the 66 centre-backs in the Ligue 2. At 24 Samb is in his prime years, and a market index of 19.3 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Laval finished 16th of 18 · a relegation-threatened side
3.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th of 18) 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.26 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 21.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 51.6, Samb carries the 37th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Ligue 2 of 66 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
