Granit Xhaka Scout Report

Granit Xhaka's presence in Bayer Leverkusen's midfield this season has been a masterclass in control and precision. As a central midfielder coming of age gracefully, Xhaka's style of play skillfully blends retention and creative distribution, boasting an outstanding pass accuracy and setting the tempo with his high touch involvement. His exceptional ball retention and progressive passing stand out in his player stats, placing him among the elite in his position, allowing Leverkusen to transition effortlessly from defence to attack. Xhaka's knack for threading key passes contributes to a high assist rate, underlying his vision and technical acumen. However, his influence wanes near the attacking third, with goal threat and shooting stats suggesting a more withdrawn creative role rather than a direct attacking presence. Defensively, he excels in aerial duels, showcasing his strength and timing, though his interception rates suggest an area ripe for improvement. While his dribbling isn't a prime asset, Xhaka compensates with robust duel-winning capabilities, underscoring his tenacity in central battles. Ultimately, at 32, Xhaka exhibits a defined playing style centred on orchestration and defensive solidity, making him a pivot in Leverkusen's ambitions.
