Duván Zapata Scout Report

Duván Zapata in the 2023-2024 Serie A season, at age 33, showcased a compelling performance as Torino's key striker. Despite his age, he was exceptional in his ability to efficiently recover the ball, reflected in a high percentile score of 76.36%, indicating a strong defensive aspect to his game. His goal efficiency and progressive carrying were equally notable, both landing in the 74.54 percentile, magnifying his threat as an adaptable and resourceful frontline player. However, Zapata evidenced significant weaknesses in ball retention and progressive passing, scoring lowly at 16.36% and 21.81% respectively. This suggests a tendency to relinquish possession easily and a difficulty in advancing the play through incisive passing - a potential liability against high pressing teams. Furthermore, even though his absolute goal and assist rates per 90 minutes were reasonably high, his xA and xG per 90 were relatively muted, hinting at a possible overperformance that may be challenging to maintain. Overall, Zapata, showcases the traditional poacher's instincts with his considerable goal threat, precision with shots per 90 at a commanding 80% percentile, and remarkable resilience in ball recovery. At the same time, his advancing years and deficiencies in ball retention and passing suggest a need for careful management in games where high pressing and ball control are essential.
