Scout report
N. Alip is a 26-year-old central defender at Zenit, rated 27.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 139th of 274 on scout potential in the Premier League. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (25.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.96 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Alip.
Judged on this season alone, Alip graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 30th of 48 of the 48 centre-backs in the Premier League, on 4 clean sheets and 2.961 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 26 → 17). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 28, top 38% of the 48 centre-backs in the Premier League. At 26 Alip is in his prime years, and a market index of 3 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 · Zenit finished 1st of 16 · a title-challenging side
2.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 16) 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 25.9% 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 27.5, Alip carries the 18th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier League of 48 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.96 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.
