Bertrand Traoré, at the age of 28, has emerged as a varied threat from the right side of the pitch for Villarreal in La Liga this 2023-2024 season. His dominant traits are clear as he consistently executes progressive carries (82nd percentile) and passes (94th percentile), showcasing his ability to propel his team forward. These strengths are paired with a high 'Shots per 90' score - Traoré isn't afraid to aim for the net, falling in the 89.58 percentile of his peers in this regard, which complemented by a decent 66% goal efficiency highlights his competency in finishing.
However, Traoré's game isn't entirely without flaw. His low ball recovery rating at 6% indicates a notable weakness in his defensive contributions, suggesting that in high-pressured, defensive contexts he tends to stutter. Furthermore, while his 'Dispossessed per 90' rate is not amongst the lowest, sitting at the 22.92 percentile, it is a concern, hinting at less than desired ball retention under pressure.
Overall, Traoré's strengths in forward movement and goal threat hugely outweigh his defensive hiccups; he is an attacking player capable of lighting up La Liga with his mesmerising moves and goal-scoring proficiency. At 28, with plenty of playing years ahead, Traoré's talent promises enthralling endeavours on the pitch.
