Finn Azaz

Finn Azaz's performances this season for Middlesbrough in the Championship offer a fascinating scout report on a young talent with a knack for creativity and defensive solidity. At 24, he's certainly matured into his role as an attacking midfielder, displaying an impressive knack for chance creation and being a constant goal threat. His style of play is marked by a keen eye for goal and an ability to produce moments of magic in the final third. However, his progressive carrying and passing need refinement, as they don't quite match the level of his other attacking stats. Defensively, Azaz is quite adept, boasting remarkable penalty area defending skills and a solid 1v1 presence, making him a versatile asset in transition. While his ball retention could be sharper, detracting slightly from his overall influence, his attacking prowess and willingness to contribute defensively make him a valuable piece in Middlesbrough's tactical puzzle.
