An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (36.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.53 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Doumbia.

Judged on this season alone, Doumbia graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 22nd of 33 of the 33 central midfielders in the Pro League, on 1 goal, 2 assists and 1.532 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 31 → 16). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 53, top 4% of the 33 central midfielders in the Pro League. At 22 Doumbia is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 14.8 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 18) 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 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.24 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 36.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.53 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 52.8, Doumbia carries the 1st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Pro League of 33 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
