Scout report
N. Kakkoev is a 26-year-old central defender at Nizhny Novgorod, rated 25.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 166th of 274 on scout potential in the Premier League. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (43.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.34 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kakkoev.
Judged on this season alone, Kakkoev graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 37th of 48 of the 48 centre-backs in the Premier League, on 2 clean sheets and 4.344 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 29 → 14). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, 23rd of 48 of the 48 centre-backs in the Premier League. At 26 Kakkoev is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.7 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Nizhny Novgorod finished 15th of 16 · a relegation-threatened side
4.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 17 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 43.7% 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 25.3, Kakkoev carries the 23rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier League of 48, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Nizhny Novgorod finished 15th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.34 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.
