Bilal Boutobba, the 25-year old right winger for Clermont Foot, is an intriguing figure in Ligue 1. Hailed as a player of potential, Boutobba’s game is characterised by higher than average ball recovery (62.0%) and chance creation (64.0%), painting him as a player well-adept at retrieving possession and instigating potential scoring opportunities. His successful crossing rate is superior (84.0%), making him a valuable asset on flanks for precise deliveries, an attribute well-complimented by his progressive passing percentile of 62.0%.
However, critiques lie in his relatively poor goal efficiency at 32.0%; for a right winger cum attacking midfielder, one might expect better figures, and this deficit in scoring potency may affect his team's offensive dynamics. Furthermore, his ball retention (26.0%) is a concerning red flag, suggesting a propensity to surrender the ball under pressure, a possible dent in his otherwise progressive playing style.
Boutobba indicates an interesting prospect with definite strengths to leverage and areas for improvement. Better goal efficiency and ball retention could transform this young Frenchman into an even more formidable offensive force in the seasons to come.
