Jaime Mata Scout Report

Jaime Mata's role as a striker for Las Palmas this season exemplifies a classic veteran presence, deeply grounded in both intelligence and adaptability, albeit with evident limitations. At 35, Mata's playing style revolves around being a multidimensional forward, capable of contributing pressures on the wings as well. Despite his declining goal-scoring efficiency which places him towards the lower end in La Liga's striking department, Mata's unexpected standout feature lies in his remarkable shot selection, as reflected by his high expected goals. His touches per match are well above average, suggesting he maintains good involvement in build-up play, offering a seasoned touch that allows Las Palmas a dependable figure in possession. Nonetheless, his ball recovery rate highlights a limitation in defensive contribution, hinting at a reduced work rate off the ball. Additionally, his passing accuracy is modest at best, which could point to fading sharpness in executing precise lay-offs. While he's unlikely to top scoring charts, Mata still embodies a player with a wealth of experience against a backdrop of youthful vigour, offering tonnes of intangible benefits to the squad.
