S. Bendebka is a 34-year-old attacking midfielder at Al-Hazm, enjoying a standout season — 2 goals and 1 assists in 9 appearances, a Season grade of 21, top 85% of Pro League attacking midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 15.6, ranking 154th of 169 in the Pro League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (49.3% of available minutes). He brings 0.36 goal contributions per 90 (0.24 goals, 0.12 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bendebka.

Judged on this season alone, Bendebka graded 21 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 11th of 13 of the 13 attacking midfielders in the Pro League, on 2 goals and 1 assist in 9 appearances (0.358 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 36 → 21). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 13th of 13 of the 13 attacking midfielders in the Pro League. At 34 Bendebka is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.3 reflects that trajectory.

2 goals in 9 appearances (0.22 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 3 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.36 goal contributions per 90 (0.24 goals, 0.12 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 49.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.91 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 15.6, Bendebka carries the 13th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Pro League of 13 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.36 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
