Wouter Burger Scout Report

Wouter Burger's recent stint in the Championship with Stoke City paints a picture of a central midfielder who's still fine-tuning his craft. At 23, he's got time on his side, but there are clear areas needing attention. His ability to recover the ball stands out, situating him among the league's top players in interceptions—a boon for any defence. His aerial prowess is notable, too, with a commendable win rate in aerial duels. However, when it comes to offensive contributions, Burger seems less effective. His low chance creation and goal efficiency stats suggest he's not quite the creative force or goal threat Stoke might need from the middle. At times, his passing accuracy leaves much to be desired, and he's prone to committing fouls, leading to a high caution rate with yellow cards. Despite his progressive passing being average, his ball retention is worryingly low, hinting at a need to polish his composure under pressure. Operating mainly in the midfield third, he can influence a game with diligent defence, but he'll need to refine his ball control and distribution to impact offensively. This scout report highlights a player with defensive solidity but midfield finesse yet to be fully sculpted.
