On long-term talent our Rating reads 58, top 30% of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 26 Newton is in his prime years, and a market index of 27.4 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Botafogo finished 6th of 20 · an upper-table side
3.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 46.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 57.7, Newton carries the 17th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A (top 30%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
