Liam Delap Scout Report
Liam Delap, the 21-year-old English striker with Hull City, has been demonstrating a remarkable talent in the Championship season of 2023-2024. With a versatile capability of playing as a right winger too, Delap is emerging as a formidable force in the attacking front. His standout attribute is his chance creation, positioned at an unrivalled 100th percentile among his peers; there's no player better at creating opportunities in the league.
Delap's impressive progressive carrying records another phenomenal 100th percentile, demonstrating his ability to push forward against opposition defences assertively. His progressive passing, at 88.9%, is also worth a note, highlighting his potential to link-up effectively with his team-mates in attacking situations. Along with these, his goal efficiency is notable at 79.4%. Though his goal threat might not seem extremely impressive initially standing at 26.98%, his xG per 90 being 32.79% indicates a higher goal probability than he is currently achieving; he might bring in more goals as he matures.
However, there are areas for improvement. His pass accuracy per 90 is quite low at 29.51%, indicating he sometimes struggles to connect with his teammates. Equally, ball retention, which is only 44.4%, suggests that Delap can sometimes lose possession too easily.
Overall, despite some weak spots, Delap's performances at such a young age point to a player with high potential. With the player's already stellar chance creation and progressive carrying, and a penchant for enhancing his goal threats, he could well be a striking prospect for top-tier clubs in the future.
