Moussa Sissoko Scout Report

At 35, Moussa Sissoko remains a pivotal figure in Watford’s midfield, seamlessly adapting his style of play to suit the demands of the Championship. Known for his robust physicality, Sissoko's aerial prowess is nearly unmatched, sitting in the league's upper echelon for aerial duels won, which underscores his value defensively and during set-pieces. His knack for winning duels makes him a key figure in breaking up opposition play and maintaining midfield solidity. While his ball retention skills are commendably high, creating chances isn't exactly his forte — he ranks low in metrics related to chance creation and assists, indicating a more conservative approach with the ball. Despite this, his ball recoveries and moderate goal efficiency contribute positively to the team's dynamic. Offensively, Sissoko's impact is tempered by his indirect approach, with lower numbers in shots and progressive actions. His efficiency in the central and defensive thirds highlights his role as a stabiliser rather than a playmaker. While he doesn’t light up the final third, his experience, combined with a high duel win rate, still makes him an invaluable asset in shaping Watford's midfield battles, showcasing a veteran presence articulated clearly in his player stats.
