Andrew Moran, Blackburn Rovers' 20-year-old Irish dynamo, has been turning heads in the Championship with his impressive performance as a right winger whilst demonstrating versatility in central and attacking midfield as well as the left wing. Notably, his progressive passing abilities are outstanding (ranked in the top 6.5% of his peers), suggesting sophisticated long-term vision with a potent blend of precision and creativity. He also possesses remarkable ball recovery (83rd percentile) and retention skills (70th percentile), pointing to an enviable tenacity in the hustle and control under pressure.
Moran's latent potential shines through with high assist rates (97th percentile), indicating a keen understanding of the game's dynamism and the ability to unlock defences at key moments. His above-average xA per 90 (64th percentile) and goal threat ratings (65th percentile) nods to his capability of becoming a future playmaker.
However, he leaves much to be desired in terms of chance creation (29th percentile) and progressive carrying (35th percentile), suggesting room for growth in his agility on the ball and dynamic movement. A significantly low goal efficiency rate (3rd percentile) signals a need to hone his finishing touches. Moran's dispossesed per 90 rating (80th percentile) could hint at risk-taking that might require reining in and recalibrating.
All in all, despite several areas to iron out, Moran showcases the possibility of being a future midfield sparkplug with his vision, doggedness and potential as a facilitating linchpin.
