- Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points

Outlook
With a Rating of 59.2, Zézé carries the 1st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Pro League (top 2%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions 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.
