Jonathan Clauss

In this scout report on Jonathan Clauss, the seasoned right-back for Nice, it's clear his style of play is a blend of defensive diligence and unexpected attacking flair. While he's entering the twilight of his career at 32, Clauss shows an impressive knack for chance creation, which is quite rare for a player in his position. His ability to deliver in the final third adds a surprising dimension to his game—his attacking stats are quite commendable, underscoring his effectiveness going forward. Defensively, he displays solid capabilities in recovering the ball and defending in the penalty area, making him a reliable presence at the back. However, his 1v1 defending isn't as robust, suggesting a potential area for improvement. His proficiency in progressive passing hints at his ability to initiate forward momentum from deeper positions, although his progressive carrying could use some sharpening. Overall, Clauss remains a vital cog for Nice, balancing defensive duties with an unexpected attacking edge.
