Sardar Azmoun has carved out a respectable niche for himself in the Roma side at the age of 29 throughout the 2023-2024 Serie A season, making a noticeable impact in their attacking force. His primary role as a striker shows his crucial role in the team's goal production, with an impressive 89.1% percentile ranking in Goal Threat and an above-average 78.18% in Goals per 90 minutes. These numbers underline Azmoun's impeccable knack for finding the back of the net. His xG per 90 (expected goals), at 81.82%, further demonstrates his effectiveness in putting himself in potent goal-scoring situations.
However, his game isn't entirely based on scoring. Evidence surfaced of a passing capacity above the average, indicated by his Progressive Passing at 67.27%, suggesting he's not just a finisher but also a key link in the creation of scoring opportunities. This is, however, compromised by the lower percentile in other metrics like Ball Recovery and Progressive Carrying, both at 36.36%, hinting an area of potential growth.
Azmoun's occupy-and-attack style puts less focus on ball recovery and retention, highlighted by a 40% metric on Ball Retention. His Pass Accuracy per 90 at 65.45% could undoubtedly be improved, alongside his assists per 90, which ranks a disappointing 11.82%. Here lies the evident area of improvement for Azmoun – the balance between finishing, creating, and contributing to the general play to enhance his valuable role in the Roma side even further. Nevertheless, Azmoun has proven to be an effective cog in Roma's machine, striking fear in many Serie A defenses with his relentless goal threat.
