An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (49.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.04 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ngom.
Judged on this season alone, Ngom graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 47th of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 4.038 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 24 → 17). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 73, top 36% of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 22 Ngom is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 42.6 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Lecce finished 17th of 20 · a lower-table side
4.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th of 20) 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 49.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 72.5, Ngom carries the 20th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A of 57 — though on just 15 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
