Scout report
H. Diarra is a 22-year-old attacking midfielder at Sunderland, rated 92.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 24th of 376 on scout potential in the Premier League and 16th of 2874 U-23 players tracked. An emerging talent, he has been a regular starter this season (68.6% of available minutes). He brings 0.25 goal contributions per 90 (0.13 goals, 0.13 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Diarra.
Judged on this season alone, Diarra graded 27 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 38th of 73 of the 73 attacking midfielders in the Premier League, on 2 goals and 2 assists in 20 appearances (0.254 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 46 → 27). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 93, top 13% of the 73 attacking midfielders in the Premier League. At 22 Diarra is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 105.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Diarra missed 15 games through injury (groin, international duty) out of roughly 38 this season. The 20 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Sunderland finished 7th of 20 · a mid-table side
2 goals in 20 appearances (0.1 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 4 goal contributions in all.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 68.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 96.8/100).
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Output. 0.25 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.14 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Outlook
With a Rating of 92.9, Diarra carries the 9th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Premier League (top 13%). In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.25 goal contributions per 90). 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.
