Scout report

Project playerCreative Attacking midfielder

R. Morishita is a 29-year-old attacking midfielder at Blackburn, rated 44.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 115th of 199 on scout potential in the Championship. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (64.4% 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 32 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 6th of 14 of the 14 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 32 → 36). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 45, 7th of 14 of the 14 attacking midfielders in the Championship. At 29 Morishita is in his prime years, and a market index of 13.5 reflects that trajectory.

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 64.4% 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.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 44.5, Morishita carries the 7th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Championship of 14, 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).
