In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (56.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.88 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Gazal.
Judged on this season alone, Gazal graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 44th of 54 of the 54 centre-backs in the Super League, on 2 clean sheets and 1.882 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 9 → 8).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, top 19% of the 54 centre-backs in the Super League. At 27 Gazal is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Shandong Luneng finished 5th of 16 · an upper-table side
1.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 16) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 56.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.88 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 24.5, Gazal carries the 10th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Super League (top 19%). Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.88 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.
