Bryan Heynen Scout Report

Bryan Heynen, the Belgian stalwart anchoring Genk's midfield, is a maestro in possession with an extraordinary knack for ball retention and progressive passing, both standing among the league's elite. His style of play is unerringly intelligent, utilising his high pass accuracy and duel win rate to dictate the game's tempo from central areas. His ability to maintain possession and facilitate forward thrusts makes him a lynchpin in transitioning play, evidenced by his high percentile in touches, confirming his influence over proceedings. Though his goal threat leaves room for improvement, with below-par goal efficiency, Heynen offsets this by being a workhorse, demonstrating notable prowess in aerial and ground duels alike. His defensive attributes shine through with commendable interceptions and recoveries, providing a solid base in the midfield third. However, his edge in the attacking third isn't sharp, with a need to bolster his goal engagement, as indicated by comparatively lower metrics in goals per 90. Thus, while Heynen may not be the direct attacking force, his consistent performances in maintaining structure and fluidity keep Genk's engine purring smoothly.
