Toni Borevković

Toni Borevković is Samsunspor’s bronze-tier Engine at the back, a centre-back whose game is built on work, grit and persistence. With four domestic trophies on his CV from Croatia, he brings the poise of someone who has already felt pressure on big cup nights.

The data paints a clear hybrid engine/wall profile. Across 556 minutes he has not just sat deep, he has stepped out to contest, chase and block, earning a silver SHIELD badge that underlines how willingly he puts his body in the line of fire. His defensive output in tackles, blocks and interceptions gives Samsunspor a safety net in front of goal. Interestingly, his strongest pentagon strand is Shooting, a quirk that makes him a live threat at set pieces and second balls around the box. A season ability of 48 shows a steady baseline, while a much lower form score signals a quiet spell rather than a collapse in levels. In an emerging reliability band, he is still building his full-season sample, which gives his profile a sense of upward room.

Valued at €4M with a downward trend, his market tag sits at an intriguing point. One decisive display in a crunch match – a goal from a corner, a last-minute block – is all it can take for a defender with his toolkit to flip that curve and reassert his place in the market.
