Kévin Van Den Kerkhof Scout Report

Kévin Van Den Kerkhof, the 28-year-old Algerian right winger for Metz, presents an intriguing portfolio of strengths and weaknesses that position him uniquely in the Ligue 1. Despite his inconsistent performance in goal threat, chance creation, and overall effectiveness at providing quality chances for his team with a modest 10% in both xG per 90 and shots per 90, Van Den Kerkhof shines exceedingly in some contrasting areas. His ball recovery is exemplary, outranking a remarkable 84% of his peers which underscores his combative nature and ability to regain possession. However, his retention, indicated by a dismal percentile of just 2%, points to an immediate area that requires improvement. He loses the ball too frequently, as further highlighted by a high dispossessed per 90 score of 72%. Laudably, he thrusts himself into the limelight with an impressive 80% successful crosses per 90, demonstrating his exceptional skill in precise ball delivery from wide areas—an asset for Metz's crossing and set-piece tactics. His assists per 90 and xA per 90 standing at 40% and 42% respectively, encapsulate his unsung contribution to goal-scoring sequences. Yet, significant works remain to be done in relation to goal efficiency, progressive passing, and pass accuracy per 90, evident in the low percentiles. At the ripe age of 28, Van Den Kerkhof is at his peak, but must grapple with these shortcomings to be the potent force his team needs on the right flank.
