Oihan Sancet's evolution in the heart of Athletic Club's midfield is a mesmerising study in attacking prowess. At 24, he's carving out a distinctive role as an attacking midfielder, thanks to a potent combination of sublime goal-scoring capability and incisive offensive instincts. His unparalleled goal threat places him at the pinnacle of La Liga's attacking midfielders, with a remarkable proficiency not just in positional play but also in putting the ball in the back of the net with clinical precision. He's an aggressive forward thinker, evidenced by his impressive progressive carrying and passing, which frequently breaks defensive lines and disrupts the opposition.
However, Sancet’s defensively deskilled, marked by a lacklustre ball recovery and duel win rate. His defensive contributions are comparatively minimal, raising questions about his effectiveness in deeper positions. Nevertheless, his focus on attacking zones aligns with a scout report that highlights his direct approach; Sancet optimises his sporadic touches, highly efficient in transforming limited possession into meaningful threats. His dribbling ability offers a dynamic edge that can unlock even the sternest defences. While he lacks consistency in possession retention and pass accuracy, his overall playing style leans heavily toward an aggressive, goal-oriented approach, further embellishing his reputation as a formidable attacking force.
