Scout report

Solid contributorCreative Attacking midfielder

R. Morishita is a 29-year-old attacking midfielder at Blackburn, rated 46 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 336th of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (72.2% of available minutes). He brings 0.44 goal contributions per 90 (0.14 goals, 0.3 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Morishita.

Judged on this season alone, Morishita graded 36 — a strong campaign that ranks top 29% of the 69 attacking midfielders in the Championship, on 4 goals and 9 assists in 37 appearances (0.439 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 16 → 36). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 46, 56th of 69 of the 69 attacking midfielders in the Championship. At 29 Morishita is in his prime years, and a market index of 15.2 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Morishita missed 5 games through injury (injury) out of roughly 46 this season. The 37 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.

Goals / app

4 goals in 37 appearances (0.11 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 9 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 13 goal contributions (0.35 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 72.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.44 goal contributions per 90 (0.14 goals, 0.3 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.42 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 46, Morishita carries the 56th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Championship of 69, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Blackburn finished 20th of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.44 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
