Iago Aspas Scout Report

At 36, Iago Aspas still maintains his reputation as a talismanic figure for Celta Vigo. Despite being in the twilight of his career, the Spanish striker shows no signs of slowing down. He is a remarkably versatile forward who shines predominantly as a striker but also proves adept when deployed in attacking midfield or right winger positions. The statistics underscore his knack for causing havoc in opposition territory. Splitting his time mostly between the midfield and attacking thirds, Aspas showcases impressive ball retention, chance creation, and ball recovery stats; he is in the top 2% and top 5% in ball retention and chance creation, respectively, while holding his own in the roughly middle range for ball recovery. He's also an expert in bringing his teammates into play, posting excellent 'assists' and 'pass accuracy' figures. However, two apparent weaknesses should be considered. Firstly, his aerial duel win percentage is worryingly low, indicating that high balls may not be his strong suit. Secondly, his goal threat and efficiency percentiles are relatively low, an unusual trait for a striker of his caliber. It's evident he isn't as clinical as his younger days, nevertheless, his flamboyant playing style and intelligence in creating goalscoring opportunities more than compensates for such areas of improvement. In brief, Aspas still remains an essential cog in Celta Vigo's attack. A lethal creator yet a less potent finisher now, he showcases a stimulating blend of experience, expertise and, persistence.
