Morlaye Sylla Scout Report

Morlaye Sylla is a remarkably consistent player with aptitude bills in dual positions, taking up roles as a Left Winger as well as multiple midfield roles for Arouca in Primeira Liga. At the age of 25, he is in the prime of his career, exhibiting exceptional skills in ball recovery and retention with 98th percentile rankings for both, displaying a player who is hard to dislodge of the ball and can dictate the tempo of a game. Progressive passing is another one of his strengths, with a percentile rank of 82, and he performs well in assist metrics, showing his ability to contribute substantially in the attacking build-up. However, he shows a below-average goalscoring threat and efficiency, placing in the 38th and 49th percentile respectively. In terms of weaknesses, Sylla needs improvement on his crossing game, as he finds himself in the bottom 5.56% of players in the league for successful crosses per 90 minutes. His dispossession rate is also a concern, sitting at the 33rd percentile, which can risk unwelcome turnovers in high-stakes games. Despite these shortcomings, Sylla’s strengths suggest a player with considerable potential and clear areas on which to focus for improved all-round performance. His presence on the field is to be respected, as only a handful can retain possession as effectively as he does. His development journey will continue to be an intriguing one to watch.
