Billy Gilmour Scout Report

Billy Gilmour's evolution at Napoli unveils a player whose strengths and weaknesses paint a complex scout report. At 23, his ball retention is exceptional, ranking high among Serie A defensive midfielders, highlighting his efficiency in maintaining possession under pressure. Gilmour's style of play is anchored more in composure and smart passes, with his progressive passing percentile proving he's adept at moving the ball forward. His astute positioning in the midfield third suggests a preference for dictating play from deep rather than venturing into the final third—a notable shortcoming given his near non-existent goal threat and lower chance creation, particularly in the attacking penalty area. His hands-off approach in aerial duels, however, is a standout asset, showcasing a staggering win percentage indicative of dominance in the air. While his goal efficiency hovers around the average, it's clear the Scotsman isn't a natural goal scorer. Despite secondary attributes like interceptions and assists per 90 floating lower in the rankings, Gilmour's consistent touch and pass accuracy mean he's a reliable, albeit conservative, presence. There's a quiet strength in his game, harnessing his pass accuracy and ball retention skills to maintain Napoli's shape, but the challenge remains in adding a cutting edge to his attacking contributions.
