In this scout report of Blackburn Rovers' Swedish attacking midfielder, Yasin Ayari, we find a prodigious talent whose tactical nous and technical refinement far surpass his tender age of 20. Ayari displays an extraordinary ability to unlock defenses, reflected in an exceptional chance creation percentile that hovers just below the maximum. A stark contrast exists in his middling but significant ball retention and recovery ability, showing that the finesse part of his game overshadows the grit part.
Ayari's goal threat and xG per 90 ratios are remarkable, indicating a player always ready to pounce in the danger zone. This attacking prowess also mirrors significantly in the young Swede's efficient progressive carrying capability. However, he doesn't score as many goals as he potentially should - his goal efficiency is average - indicating a need to work on his finishing.
Furthermore, Ayari has an intuitive understanding of space, resulting in an impressive progressive passing percentile. On the flipside, his sporting discipline is eye-catching for the wrong reasons. The youngster tops the charts with the most yellow cards and fouls committed - a liability for any team.
In terms of territory, Ayari is a diverse player, operating efficiently in both the attacking and the midfield third. Even though he is less involved in the defensive third, he records impressive interception stats, suggesting he works hard to win the ball back. However, limited touches in the attacking penalty area suggest that Ayari might be more of a supplier than a finisher.
In conclusion, Ayari's performance data strongly suggests a player possessing significant attacking prowess, creativity, and a certain directness as shown by his extremely high shots per 90 percentile. He will need to improve his defensive contributions and discipline to avoid getting unnecessary bookings. Given his age, the sky is truly the limit for this Championship revelation.
