Oliver Edvardsen, a stalwart fixture at the left wing for the Go Ahead Eagles in the Eredivisie is often regarded for his impressive ball recovery, ranking in the top 20 percent amongst his peers. He has demonstrated exceptional prowess as a consistent threat in front of the goal - his goal threat positioning him a cut above the rest, in the top 15 percent. Despite his abilities to score, however, he lags significantly in ball retention and progressive carrying, both of which fall in the lower third amongst his peers, pointing to areas of improvement needed. Moreover, while he ranks reasonably in progressive passing and shots per 90, his assists per 90 and pass accuracy per 90 are concerningly low, falling in the bottom quarter percentile, suggesting his distributive play may be letting him down. With his age of 25, Edvardsen has a few years left to further refine his strengths and address his weaknesses on the field. His proficiency in goal threat and ball recovery on the pitch suggest that once he improves his distribution quality, we could see him develop into a well-rounded, formidable left-winger.
