Chris Mepham Scout Report

Chris Mepham continues to cement his reputation as a highly capable centre-back this season with Sunderland. His impressive ability in progressive carries defines his style of play, allowing him to effectively link defence with midfield. Notably, he's also a standout in progressive passing, reflecting his capability to initiate attacks from deeper positions. Mepham shows a solid understanding of situational defensive play, exhibited by high rankings in ball recoveries, but his game isn't without its rough edges. Despite dominating aerial duels, his overall duel winning isn't particularly robust and a higher tendency towards committing fouls could be a concern. He sees most of the ball in the midfield and defensive thirds, a true testament to his role in maintaining the team's defensive composure. His pass accuracy forms a dependable backbone for distribution out from the back, even as he's working to refine his on-ball discipline. As a 26-year-old, Mepham brings both maturity and room for growth to his game, a promising sign for Sunderland's ambitions this season.
