Habib Keita Scout Report

Habib Keita, the impressive Mali international, is clearly making waves in the central midfield position for Ligue 1 side Clermont Foot in the 2023-2024 season. Our scout report indicates a player who acutely demonstrates well-roundedness in midfield. One of the significant aspects of Keita's style of play lies in his admirable ball retention, placing himself in the upper echelons of his peers in the central midfield position. He combines this ability with a surprising knack for goal efficiency, finding nets more often than a large proportion of central midfielders. However, there are areas where Keita might need to focus, primarily progressive passing which is highlighted as a significant weakness congested in the extremely low percentile. His low threat in goal creation also somewhat undermines his high goal efficiency which is a rather intriguing dichotomy. Keita's stats show a trend for a defensive leaning style - owning one of the top percentile scores in interceptions and winning a firm share of total duels. This may indeed clarify the underwhelming display in creative aspects, ensuring more defensive duties than key actions in the attacking third of the pitch. Keita's playing style eloquently reflects his attributes; thriving mainly in the midfield third while contributing more defensively than up front. Despite an occasional invitation to the sin bin – shown by a high rate of yellow cards – there’s no denying that his astute defensive acumen is his foremost strength. Expect to see his name pop up in player stats for ball recovery, duels won, and those game-changing interceptions. If Keita can work upon broadening his scope in progressive passing, there's a thrilling central midfielder in the making.
