Scout report

Squad depthCentral midfielder

N. Ermakov is a 23-year-old central midfielder at Nizhny Novgorod, rated 27 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 152nd of 274 on scout potential in the Premier League. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (24.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.24 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ermakov.

Judged on this season alone, Ermakov graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 46th of 49 of the 49 central midfielders in the Premier League, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.243 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 13 → 6). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 27, 30th of 49 of the 49 central midfielders in the Premier League. At 23 Ermakov is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 2.9 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 18 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (15th of 16) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 24.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 27, Ermakov carries the 30th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League of 49 — though on just 18 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
