Scout report
Tiago Araújo is a 25-year-old full-back at Gent, rated 54.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 91st of 311 on scout potential in the Jupiler Pro League. In his prime years, he has been a regular starter this season (76.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.36 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Araújo.
Judged on this season alone, Araújo graded 26 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 22nd of 52 of the 52 full-backs in the Jupiler Pro League, on 8 clean sheets and 2.362 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 16 → 26). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 55, top 25% of the 52 full-backs in the Jupiler Pro League. At 25 Araújo is in his prime years, and a market index of 17.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Gent finished 5th of 6 · a relegation-threatened side
2.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (5th of 6) 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 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 76.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 54.9, Araújo carries the 13th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Jupiler Pro League (top 25%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Gent finished 5th of 6) — 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 (2.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
