A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (23.5% of available minutes). He brings 0.21 goal contributions per 90 (0 goals, 0.21 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sonko.
Judged on this season alone, Sonko graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 41st of 44 of the 44 attacking midfielders in the Jupiler Pro League, on 0 goals and 2 assists in 28 appearances (0.207 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 11 → 6). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 50, 28th of 44 of the 44 attacking midfielders in the Jupiler Pro League. At 21 Sonko is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 14.2 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Gent finished 5th of 6 · a relegation-threatened side
0 goals in 28 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 2 goal contributions in all.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 23.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Output. 0.21 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
Outlook
With a Rating of 49.8, Sonko carries the 28th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Jupiler Pro League of 44 — though on just 28 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.21 goal contributions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
