Lewis Ferguson, the 24-year-old attacking midfielder from Bologna, deserves a special mention in our scout report for the Serie A season. Playing predominantly as an attacking midfielder, though also capable in a central role, Ferguson's performance places him high on the radar, not just in Italy but also on the international stage.
Studying his player stats, one distinct strength emerges - his goal threat stands out at the 85th percentile, demonstrating a potent presence in front of the net. It complements his high goal efficiency at the 73rd percentile, making him a constant danger to opponents on the pitch. His 80th percentile rating for goals per 90 and an 84th percentile for expected goals (xG) per 90 echoes this fact.
In the style of play, Ferguson's ball retention skills are notable with a percentile of 77, signifying he is adept at maintaining possession under pressure. On the other hand, his progressive passing ability falls in the lower percentile (21), indicating a potential area for improvement.
Excelling in the ability to get involved in play, Ferguson's impressive touch percentile (80) suggests his omnipresence on the field. However, a propensity towards committing fouls (80 percentile) implies a bit of recklessness that could harm his discipline record as mirrored by a fairly high yellow card percentile of 63.
Focusing on player activity and possession area reveals that he is most active in the midfield third. His presence in the attacking third shows an inclination towards contributing to offensive maneuvers, while his game in the defensive third needs to be worked upon, with his percentile only being 15.
In conclusion, Lewis Ferguson presents as a promising attacking force with remarkable goal threat and efficiency, who could further elevate his game with enhanced progressive passing skills and better discipline.
