Scout report

Squad depthCentral midfielder

T. Chong is a 26-year-old central midfielder at Sheffield Utd, rated 51.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 292nd of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (19.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.81 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Chong.

Judged on this season alone, Chong graded 7 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 70th of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 1.808 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 19 → 7). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 52, 44th of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship. At 26 Chong is in his prime years, and a market index of 23.9 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Chong missed 7 games through injury (knee) out of roughly 46 this season. The 21 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Outlook

With a Rating of 51.8, Chong carries the 44th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship of 73 — though on just 21 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.81 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.
