Yunus Akgün Scout Report

Yunus Akgün is a 23-year-old Right Winger for Leicester City, currently plying his trade in the Championship. Akgün's positionally versatile having capabilities in the central and attacking midfield, though he's most prominently impactful on the right flank. Dominantly, his key strength lies in his exceptional ball retention, ranking at a whopping 98.7 percentile compared to his peers, demonstrating his ability to shield and keep the ball even under sustained pressure. His passing strata is impressive, with an accuracy rate per 90 minutes at 96.1%, crafting formidable connections with his peers on the field. As an assist-provider, he's highly proficient with a percentile rank of 85.71. However, while the Turkish midfielder possesses fine offensive skills, there are stark areas of weakness that could hamper his career trajectory. Progressive carrying, passing, dribbling, and his goal threat stats are all languishing around the 20th percentile. This highlights Akgün's struggles to drive play forward, create opportunities through incisive passes, and score goals himself - key components for an attacking player. His dispossessed per 90 figure is also worryingly high at 46.75%, indicating that he can lose control of possession quite frequently. In sum, Akgün is a versatile and promising young player, exceptional in retaining possession and distributing the ball with precision, but he needs to be more incisive in his attacking play to raise his overall value. His recovery and goal efficiency figures also sit mid-table, an area for potential improvement. Nonetheless, at 23, he has plenty of time to polish these facets of his game.
