Scout report

Experienced headCentral midfielder

B. Ndiaye is a 35-year-old central midfielder at Gaziantep FK, rated 9.1 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (19.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.3 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ndiaye.

On the season, Ndiaye graded 8 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 1 assist and 2.302 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 32 → 8). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 9. At 35 Ndiaye is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Ndiaye missed 10 games through injury (injury, yellow cards) out of roughly 34 this season. The 12 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

2.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 12 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.21 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 19.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 9.1 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
