Experienced headBall-winning Defensive midfielder

Luis Pérez is a 31-year-old defensive midfielder at Gaziantep FK, rated 21.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 268th of 326 on scout potential in the Süper Lig. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (54.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.21 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pérez.

Judged on this season alone, Pérez graded 21 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 30th of 42 of the 42 defensive midfielders in the Süper Lig, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 4.214 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 21 → 21). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 22, 33rd of 42 of the 42 defensive midfielders in the Süper Lig. At 31 Pérez is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.6 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

4.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 54.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, 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 21.8, Pérez carries the 33rd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Süper Lig of 42. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
