Amadou Onana, a versatile Central Midfielder for Everton, demonstrates remarkable poise for a player of his age. Renowned for his strong defensive ability, as indicated by his excellent ball recovery and one vs one defense statistics, he has an outsized influence in the defensive midfield. His ability to excel in winning duels and effectively thwarting opponents in the penalty area underscores his standing as an outstanding defender.
Nevertheless, despite his age and predominantly defensive duties, he exhibits decent levels of ball retention and goal efficiency. This indicates a balanced playing style that can both disrupt the opposition and contribute to his team's offensive play. However, his less promising stats in progressive carrying and chance creation suggest perhaps a more conservative and positionally disciplined approach, with less contribution to build-up play and creating opportunities.
Despite his lower overall touches, his xG and shot stats are middling, effectively hinting at a direct attack nature when deployed in more attacking midfield roles. Lastly, in spite of showing significant potential, Onana should work on increasing his involvement in the game, and enhancing his assist numbers and pass accuracy to offer more in the attacking third.
