Scout report

Experienced headCentral defender

T. Kongolo is a 32-year-old central defender at NAC Breda, rated 17 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (6.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.86 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kongolo.

On the season, Kongolo graded 1 for current form (age-blind), on 0 clean sheets and 2.857 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 14 → 1). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 17. At 32 Kongolo is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.1 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Kongolo missed 3 games through injury (muscle bruise) out of roughly 34 this season. The 5 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.

Clean sheets

2.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 5 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 6.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 17 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
