Nikola Krstović is a 24-year-old striker hailing from Montenegro, currently dazzling the pitch at Lecce in Italy's esteemed Serie A. Although young, Krstović bears traits that hint at a high potential that could unlock even further in the coming years. His most remarkable attribute lies in his ability for ball recovery, ranking in the upper echelons with a percentile score of 72.73. This points to a player who is proactive on and off the ball, hunting for possession back for his team. His propensity for ball retention also earns him credits, sitting at a solid 56.36 percentile amongst his peers.
Still, Krstović may be looking to improve his goal efficiency, which sits alarmingly low at just 7.27 percentile compared to fellow strikers in the same league. It's clear that his goal threat level exists, as evidenced by his 60th percentile rating, but converting these into actual goals has been a challenge. Moreover, his pass accuracy per 90 mins is less than admirable, coming at a low 38.18 percentile, suggesting room for refinement in his passing game.
On the upside, his xG per 90 stands out at an impressive 74.55 percentile. This, coupled with a striking 83.64 percentile for shots per 90, suggests that Krstović is not shy in front of goal, regularly taking quite a few shots. Overall, Krstović is a promising striker with all the makings of a world class frontman, once the finer details of his game are honed.
