Kelechi Iheanacho Scout Report

Kelechi Iheanacho's tenure at Sevilla has been a tale of underutilised potential and flashes of brilliance. As a striker, his style of play is noticeably direct; despite limited touches, he makes the most of his time on the ball, translating to a respectably high ranking in progressive carrying. His ball retention's solid too, showcasing a tendency to hold onto possession with purpose, a vital trait for any attacking player. Yet, his overall offensive output leaves much to be desired, reflected in lower scores for goal efficiency and assists per 90. It's clear Iheanacho's struggling to assert himself as a consistent goal threat, something crucial given his primary role. His modest chance creation and shot metrics suggest a need for more dynamic involvement, potentially benefiting from a more active role deeper on the pitch. Defensively, he's not making much impact either, with ball recovery proving an area for improvement. This scout report indicates there's room for growth in his current deployment, with his skill set perhaps better suited to a system that capitalises on his ball progression and retention abilities.
