Itsuki Someno, the young Japanese striker, is proving to be a prodigious talent in the J1 League, showing exceptional potential in his performance. The scout report reveals a player with a convincing goal threat, placing in the top 62% amongst his contemporaries and doing admirably well with successful dribbles, landing him desirably in the 62nd percentile. Also notable is his competence in putting his shots on target, which puts him in the upper third of league strikers, an impressive feat for a 22-year-old.
However, Someno seems to struggle when it comes to ball retention, sitting considerably low at the 17.24 percentile. His progressive passing skills also require work, slating him below the average at 27.58 percentile. These weaknesses in retaining possession and constructing forward passes are areas this young striker needs to focus on to elevate his game.
In terms of goal efficiency, he is not standing out, but still, he remains marginally above average by ranking in the 44.83rd percentile, which isn't too shabby for a player of his age. His chance creation aligns with his ball recovery, landing him firmly in the middle of the pack.
Despite some areas of development, the statistics paint a picture of a promising young player who is starting to make waves in the J1 League. Someno is showing his ability to be a consistent threat in front of goal, delivering solid results in the areas of goal threat and successful dribbles. With a focus on improvement in his ball retention and progressive passing, we could be looking at a future standout in Japanese football.
