Cihan Çanak, a 19-year-old left midfielder hailing from Turkey and playing for Standard Liege in Pro League A, has shown sparks of brilliance but also areas of potential growth. Impressively enough, considering his age, Çanak shines in areas of crucial importance to his position. His successful cross percentile of 97.06% and successful dribbles of 85.29% is testament to his technical prowess while on the move, thereby substantiating his invaluable contribution to the team's offensive dynamics. However, Çanak's performance has been hamstrung by a few glaring weaknesses. His ball recovery rests at a dismal 14.28% and his goal threat sits at an alarmingly low 2.86%, a worrisome weakness for a midfielder. His chance creation and progressive carrying abilities are commendable though, at 68.57%, indicating creativity and the ability to advance play. But his glaring Achilles’ heel is how often he is dispossessed. Çanak’s dispossessed ranking is a critical vulnerability at 100.0%, indicating he loses the ball more often than any of his positional peers, potentially stifling his team's offensive momentum. Despite his areas of improvement, Çanak has positive indicators for future growth, notably his relatively high xA per 90 of 85.29%, suggesting his inherent ability to provide key passes that could lead to scoring opportunities. And his immensely successful crossing ability implies a certain primary provider attribute that could be nurtured further. His youthfulness perhaps increases his capacity to improve in the aforementioned issues and grow into a more rounded midfielder in the coming seasons.
