João Neves Scout Report

João Neves, the 20-year-old Portuguese central midfielder at PSG, is making waves with his commanding performances this season. An adept maestro in the engine room, Neves boasts an extraordinary ability to retain possession and recycle the ball efficiently, ranking in the top percentile for both metrics. His style of play is characterised by a remarkable knack for ball recovery, complemented by his sharp vision and creativity, as evidenced by high marks in chance creation and assists per 90. Though not prolific in front of goal, his goal threat and efficiency are commendable for a midfielder of his type. Defensively, he's a tenacious presence, winning aerial duels with astonishing regularity and dominating ground duels. However, his relatively modest progressive carrying and passing suggest there’s room for growth in moving the ball forward with greater intent. Operating predominantly in the midfield third, Neves is a vital cog in controlling the tempo, ensuring PSG maintain a strong midfield presence. His low foul and yellow card rates further underline a maturity beyond his years, making him one to watch in this Ligue 1 campaign. With these player stats, Neves shows massive potential for development into a complete midfielder.
