On long-term talent our Rating reads 84, top 4% of the 54 centre-backs in the Ligue 1. At 22 Baidoo is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 51.1 reflects that trajectory.

Output in context · Lens finished 2nd of 18 · a title-challenging side
4.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 18) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 84.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 89.5/100).
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 84.2, Baidoo carries the 2nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Ligue 1 (top 4%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
