Scout report

Solid contributorCentral midfielder

T. Seko is a 28-year-old central midfielder at Stoke City, rated 46.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 329th of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (62.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.42 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Seko.

Judged on this season alone, Seko graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 37th of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 3.421 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 12 → 23). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 47, 51st of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship. At 28 Seko is in his prime years, and a market index of 12.9 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 43 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th of 24) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 62.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 46.7, Seko carries the 51st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship of 73, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Stoke City finished 17th of 24) — 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 (3.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
