Scout report

Squad depthFull-back

N. Adjei is a 23-year-old full-back at Lorient, rated 68.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 163rd of 337 on scout potential in the Ligue 1. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (34.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.25 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Adjei.

Judged on this season alone, Adjei graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 63rd of 63 of the 63 full-backs in the Ligue 1, on 2 clean sheets and 2.25 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 13 → 11). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 69, 30th of 63 of the 63 full-backs in the Ligue 1. At 23 Adjei is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 40 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Adjei missed 7 games through injury (sprained ankle, ankle) out of roughly 34 this season. The 15 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.

Outlook

With a Rating of 68.6, Adjei carries the 30th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Ligue 1 of 63 — though on just 15 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
