S. Szota is a 27-year-old full-back at Arka Gdynia, rated 25.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 212th of 332 on scout potential in the Ekstraklasa. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (28.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.18 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Szota.

Judged on this season alone, Szota graded 7 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 57th of 62 of the 62 full-backs in the Ekstraklasa, on 2 clean sheets and 2.182 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 8 → 7). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, 35th of 62 of the 62 full-backs in the Ekstraklasa. At 27 Szota is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.6 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 10 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (17th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 28.3% 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 25.1, Szota carries the 35th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Ekstraklasa of 62 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
