Alex Iacovitti

In this scout report on Alex Iacovitti, the St. Mirren centre-back showcases a formidable style of play, particularly excelling in penalty area defending and progressive carrying. His ability to read the game and snuff out danger in the box is remarkable, making him a reliable last line of defence. Despite his lower ball recovery and 1v1 defending stats, which hint at potential areas for improvement, Iacovitti compensates with an uncanny knack for carrying the ball forward, often setting the tone for his team’s transition from defence to attack. While his progressive passing isn't a standout feature, his high goal efficiency and threat suggest he's got a surprising knack for contributing up the pitch when the opportunity arises. At 27, Iacovitti marries experience with a dynamic presence on the field, making him an asset for the Premiership side.
