Cyle Larin's tenure at Mallorca this season paints the picture of a striker who's become a direct force despite not being heavily involved in build-up play. His game thrives on incisive goal threat and efficiency, highlighted by impressive rankings in goal scoring and assists metrics. He boasts a commendable knack for goal efficiency, placing him among the league's more reliable finishers. His ability to convert limited touches into tangible goal-scoring opportunities underscores his direct style of play — a quintessential poacher who's often in the right place at the right time. However, his problematic ball retention and pass accuracy suggest he struggles with possession under pressure, often losing the ball rather than setting up teammates, reflected in his low progressive passing stats. While Larin's not your go-to man for creating chances, when the goal's in sight, he's certainly a striker who can turn half-chances into full-blown goals. In this scout report, Larin's late-peak age suggests a player who knows his strengths and sticks to them, but his limited build-up contribution may necessitate support from more creative teammates to unlock his full potential.
