A young player, he has been an ever-present this season (89.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.38 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bakayoko.

Judged on this season alone, Bakayoko graded 26 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 30th of 66 of the 66 centre-backs in the Ligue 2, on 4 clean sheets and 3.376 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 17 → 26). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

Clean sheets

3.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 89.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — 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 62.3, Bakayoko carries the 6th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Ligue 2 (top 10%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Amiens finished 18th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
