Edson Álvarez Scout Report

In this scout report on Edson Álvarez, the 27-year-old Mexican defensive midfielder for West Ham United exhibits a versatile yet tactically disciplined style of play. Operating primarily from the midfield third, Álvarez's game revolves around solid ball retention and adept progressive passing, positioning him in the upper quartile of his peers. His ability to carry the ball forward effectively supports his team's transition, although his chance creation and goal threat metrics reveal a more reticent approach in the final third. Álvarez's high aerial duel win rate underscores his prowess in the air, a valuable asset for defensive set-pieces. His tenacity, however, might border on the aggressive, reflected in a hefty rate of fouls and yellow cards, potentially disrupting his presence on the pitch. While his offensive contributions aren't his forte, Álvarez offers a balanced, defensively sound midfield option, crucial for maintaining West Ham's shape and stability.
