Diego López, the young Valencia right midfielder, stands out in this season's La Liga for his goal efficiency, a solid 79.7 percentile mark indicating his keen sense for finding the net. At just 22, his versatility across attacking positions hints at high potential. Although not always heavily involved in every play, as seen in his low touch percentile, López is poised and direct in his approach, making the most of limited opportunities. While he's got a knack for recovering the ball, his passing accuracy is an Achilles' heel—sitting in a low percentile, leading to a need for improvement in maintaining possession and linking play. His chance creation isn't at the forefront, which might explain his modest assist numbers despite a respectable rate per 90 minutes. López is a forward-thinking player with room to evolve, and addressing his passing game could hugely enhance his overall contribution. The scout report paints him as a clinical finisher who capitalises well on opportunities, yet there's a gap when it comes to aligning his technical abilities with his attacking instincts across the pitch.
