Joseph Okumu Scout Report

Joseph Okumu, the Kenyan centre-back plying his trade with Reims in Ligue 1, presents a distinctive playing style grounded in defence but with an unexpected knack for playmaking. His standout ability to execute progressive passes places him among the elite, with few peers in the league matching his vision and passing range. This quality makes Okumu an essential component in building attacks from the back, despite his primary defensive role. He's a formidable presence in duels, boasting a near impeccable record in aerial battles and one-on-ones, indicating his dominance when it comes to applying defensive pressure. However, Okumu's ball retention and pass accuracy metrics reveal room for improvement, as his tendency to misplace simpler passes occasionally undermines his otherwise reliable defensive contributions. His high duel and interception rates underscore his reading of the game, often placing him in the right spots at the right moments. Positioned primarily in his own half, he's a classic example of a defender who blends traditional solid defending with modern ball-playing attributes, making him a fascinating watch for scouts.
