At just 22 years of age, Kasey McAteer is a player making waves at Leicester City, showcasing a litany of impressive attributes. His predilection for striking fear in the opposition's defence can be seen in his remarkable goal threat percentile of 98.7, a figure solidified by an incredible goals per 90 of 92.21%. He also presents a formidable xG per 90 at 97.4%, a clear testament to his consistent threat in front of the goal.
McAteer is a diligent custodian of the ball, with an exceptional ball retention percentile at 87.01%, proving he seldom surrenders possession easily. That being said, his dispossessed per 90 of 48.05% suggests there is room to improve his ball control during high-pressure situations.
While his ability to carry the ball progressively is fairly solid at 63.6%, his progressive passing is a relative weakness (15.58% percentile) and indicates a potential area to improve in terms of providing effective and forward-thinking deliveries. Similarly, the successful crosses per 90 (25.97%) is an aspect McAteer might consider working on, particularly as a winger.
Nevertheless, the Englishman's raw statistics, especially his scoring metrics, reveal a player brimming with significant potential which, with proper nurturing, could reap considerable rewards for both himself and Leicester City.
