Clayton Scout Report

Clayton, leading the line for Rio Ave in the Primeira Liga, epitomises the archetype of a direct, lethal striker. Clocking in with an impressive goal efficiency, he's a prolific scorer with a knack for converting chances. His goal threat is underscored by a high shot frequency, positioning Clayton as a constant menace in the final third. A notable aspect of his style of play is his efficiency in front of goal, as reflected in his strong goals per match metrics. However, while his dribbling is above average, his passing metrics reveal room for improvement—particularly in retention and accuracy, hinting at a preference to drive forward rather than engage in build-up play. Interestingly, his high ball recovery rate signifies an often-underrated defensive contribution—an unusual but valuable trait for a striker. Yet, when it comes to creating opportunities for his teammates, Clayton's assist and chance creation figures suggest more could be desired. Nevertheless, this Brazilian forward stands out in the scout report as a potential high-impact signing for any top-flight side seeking relentless attacking potency.
