Albert Guðmundsson Scout Report

Albert Guðmundsson, the 26-year-old Icelandic striker who lights up Genoa's squad under the sun of Italy's Serie A, is a revelation with an uncanny ability to reclaim and maintain possession, displaying percentile rankings in ball recovery and retention of 90.9% and 80.0% respectively. This tenacity is beautifully partnered with his innate knack for progressive playmaking, ranking 89.1% in progressive carrying and an impressive 92.7% in progressive passing, showing the odd mix of bulldog-like chasing and balletic finesse that makes him stand out. However, whilst his goal efficiency sits at a phenomenal 96.4%, underlining his coolly clinical nature inside the box, Guðmundsson's goal threat percentile is disappointingly low at just 12.73%. This indicates a potential shortfall in his ability to position himself to take on the scoring chances, though when they do fall his way, he's remarkably effective. Importantly, Albert ranks highly in assist metrics and xA (expected assist) per 90 minutes of play, showing he's not just a solitary frontman, but an attacker who pulls strings and knits play together for Genoa. In his 35 games of the season, he displayed immense pass accuracy at 90.9%, and yet, his number of shots per 90 minutes, marked at a meager 9.09%, highlighted an area of development. In sum, Albert Guðmundsson—at the peak of his career—possesses a precocious combination of robust possession play and creative forward flair, though, his low goal threat and number of shots per game suggest a need for more assertive positioning or a recalibration of team tactics to maximize his scoring potential.
