Johan Bakayoko Scout Report
Johan Bakayoko, at the tender age of 21, is showing why he's one of the young stalwarts of PSV Eindhoven, and indeed, the Eredivisie. Deployed as a right winger, Bakayoko displays a knack for being omnipresent when it comes to ball retention, standing proudly in the 96.8th percentile of his peers. This is vividly coupled with his propensity to recover the ball (88.8 percentile) and transition it forward – testament to his 82.5 percentile standing in progressive carrying.
An in-depth glance at Bakayoko's metrics reveals further tantalizing insights. His ability to penetrate defenses and conjure up chances places him in the 95.2 percentile in creating opportunities, while an assiduous eye for the goal sees him in the 100 percentile for goal efficiency and 76.2 percentile for goal threat. Goals per 90 and assists per 90 are in the high 85-88 percentile range, suggesting he's as comfortable scoring as he is providing assists. His pass accuracy per 90 at 96.77 percentile underscores his technical prowess.
However, it's pertinent to note that Bakayoko rates low in the progressive passing metric percentile (30.15), indicating his forte isn't probing passes splitting a defensive line. Another area of mild concern is his susceptibility to dispossession, where he sits at the 35.5 percentile – a likely combination of his enthusiastic dribbling and the risk it entails. This flavor of dynamism is, therefore, a double-edged sword.
In conclusion, with successful dribbles per 90 that resonate in the high 95.16 percentile, it's clear that Bakayoko's game thrives when he's taking players on, driving forward, and keeping the ball securely in his grasp. If he can enhance his passing dimension and become less prone to dispossessions, the Belgian could develop into a formidable all-round winger. He's already making waves in the Eredivisie and is showing no signs of slowing down. Bakayoko's name, indeed, is one to watch.
