A teenage prospect, he has been a fringe squad member this season (23.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.01 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Zekri.
Judged on this season alone, Zekri graded 7 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 58th of 58 of the 58 defensive midfielders in the Jupiler Pro League, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 4.007 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 1 → 7).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 49, 36th of 58 of the 58 defensive midfielders in the Jupiler Pro League. At 17 Zekri is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 10.8 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · KV Mechelen finished 6th of 6 · a relegation-threatened side
4.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (6th of 6) 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 23.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 48.8, Zekri carries the 36th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Jupiler Pro League of 58 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 17 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 17, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
