Callum Wilson Scout Report

Callum Wilson, the seasoned striker from Newcastle United, exhibits just why he's a revered figure in the front lines. Being 31, he displays a high level of goal threat and goal efficiency, a testament to his predatory instincts as an attacker. His chance creation and progressive carrying metrics are both impressive, further revealing his contribution to the team's attacking setup. Yet, room for improvement is evident in several areas. His ball recovery, ball retention, and progressive passing numbers could be better, hinting at a potential limitation in his playing style. Wilson is not one to dominate duels or have a towering aerial presence, which could limit his effectiveness against physical opposing defenders. His passing accuracy is also a concern, as it may waste key attacking opportunities. However, with his low number of touches, coupled with high expectation generating goals (xG) and shot percentiles, we see a player who is direct and lethal in his attacking strategy. Wilson is not someone who dabbles a lot with the ball. Famously, he prefers to position himself suitably and strike when the chance presents itself. His defensive attributes are average for a forward and, therefore, not a major concern. Overall, Wilson is a proven goal threat but could diversify his game to be a more well-rounded player in the years to come.
