Kyan Vaesen Scout Report
Kyan Vaesen, the young and vigorous Belgian striking sensation for Westerlo, has had a notable season that showcases his latent potential. His style of play, particularly in the attacking third, sees him frequently positioned to generate offensive chances, illustrated by his strong percentile rankings in Chance Creation and Progressive Passing, both above the 70%.
Where Vaesen really shines, notable in our scout report, is in his aptitude for winning duels. Be they aerial or ground encounters, he often comes out triumphant, with a duel win percentage that eclipses 90%. His high-value touches further reinforce his offensive impact, standing at a solid 66.67%.
However, his impressive attacking prowess aside, Vaesen's gameplay echoes some areas for improvement. Noticeably, his goal efficiency rate and passing accuracy fall noticeably below average for the Pro League A, scoring only a quarter percentile and just above a third respectively. Alongside this, his defensive contributions could be better developed. Both his ball recovery and progressive carrying are in the lower tenth percentile, begging the question - does he sometimes leave his teammates in the lurch defensively?
In essence, Vaesen is an attack-oriented player with exhilarating duel-winning capabilities, and dare I say, artists' fingers when it comes to creating opportunities for goals and passes. However, a more well-rounded game, addressing his weaknesses in goal-scoring efficiency and defensive contribution, could elevate him to an even higher plane of talent, making him a force to be reckoned with.
