Juanmi Latasa, the 23-year-old striker from Getafe, is most distinctly a target man up top, whose strength in aerial duels demonstrates his towering presence in the box. His aerial duel win percentage sits at a commanding 91.11%, and his overall duel win rate is not too far behind at 75.56%—impressive digits, even in La Liga's competitive environment. His presence in the attacking penalty area, ranked at 77.78%, indicates that he is often positioned to capitalize on crosses and set-pieces with his head.
However, Latasa's effectiveness on the ball and in front of goal leaves much to be desired. His Ball Retention, Goal Efficiency, and Goal Threat rankings are disappointing for a striker, languishing at 10.87%, 17.39%, and 10.87% percentiles, respectively. There isn't much consolation from his Progressive Passing and Carrying, which rank worryingly low at 8.69% and 2.17%. These statistics imply his contribution to playmaking and bringing the ball up the pitch is minimal.
What intrigues is Latasa’s Penalty Area Defending, an unusual forte for strikers, which stands at 84.78%. Nonetheless considering his age and evident physical prowess, with the right guidance, Latasa demonstrates high potential to refine his overall game and become a comprehensive forward in the seasons to come.
