Scout report
R. Donkor is a 21-year-old defensive midfielder at New York Red Bulls, rated 41.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 101st of 513 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer and 1675th of 2874 U-23 players tracked. A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (32.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 5.27 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Donkor.
Judged on this season alone, Donkor graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 40th of 50 of the 50 defensive midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 0 goals, 2 assists and 5.265 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 7 → 18). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 42, top 30% of the 50 defensive midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 21 Donkor is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 7 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Donkor missed 3 games through injury (leg) out of roughly 34 this season. The 20 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.
A career still climbing — Donkor is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.

- Defensive volume. 5.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 32.5% 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 41.5, Donkor carries the 15th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Major League Soccer (top 30%). Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
