Output in context · Union St. Gilloise finished 2nd of 6 · a title-challenging side
2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 6) 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 2 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.28 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 44.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 56.8, Niang carries the 16th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Jupiler Pro League (top 28%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
