Kenan Yıldız, at just 19, is already proving himself a key asset for Juventus in Serie A. Perhaps what stands out most starkly is his impeccable ball retention - a quality that places him above every other player in his peer group. This extraordinary ability, when combined with the fact that his chance creation and progressive carrying metrics rank in the 96th percentile, reveals a player with a unique mix of possession skills and creative influence.
Despite his tender age, Yıldız demonstrates laudable efficiency in front of the goal, ranking well in the 62nd percentile. Where he truly excels, however, lies in his striking ability with his progressive passing abilities ranking him in the 91st percentile. This sharp precision makes him a compelling playmaker, not just a goalscorer.
But even a star like Yıldız has room for growth. His goal threat and xG per 90 minute stats, though not dismal, lag behind, ranking him only in the 5th and 4th percentiles, respectively. These figures suggest that while he's able to create chances and play aggressively, he struggles to convert consistently.
Nonetheless, Yıldız's potential is plain to see. His sheer talent and ability to perform consistently at such a high level at an incredibly young age suggests a player with the capacity to escalate into world-class status. His journey from Turkey to Italy and his contributions to Juventus at a tender age clearly signal a rising star on the global soccer stage. His unique blend of strengths and room for growth make for a compelling evolution to watch in seasons to come.
