Abdoullah Ba Scout Report
Abdoullah Ba, the young French star at Sunderland, has shown significant potential in his 2023/24 season. At just 20, he features prominently as an all-around forward, comfortable at both wing positions, attacking midfield, and even as a striker. Notably, his strongest attribute is his progressive carrying abilities, where he ranks in an astonishing 76.62 percentile compared to his peers in the Championship. This identifies him as a prime candidate to initiate and drive forward attacks with the ball at his feet. Additionally, his assist potential per 90 minutes is quite impressive, falling in the 80.52 percentile.
However, Ba seems less proficient in a few key areas. His chance creation and ball recovery are both startlingly low, falling in the 37.66% and 31.17% percentiles respectively. Alarmingly, his worst performance is in progressive passing, where his percentile is a meager 10.39%. This indicates an apparent inability to contribute constructively to forward-play through passing, which may limit his effectiveness in a team-oriented offensive system.
Despite these weaknesses, his age makes him a reliable and prospective candidate. With ample room for development, it wouldn't be surprising to see his weaker areas improve over time, particularly if given more minutes on the pitch. Ba certainly carries drawbacks, but his strengths shine brightly enough to suggest a promising future in football.
