Linton Maina Scout Report
Linton Maina, the 24-year-old German sensation currently gracing the left wing of FC Köln, looks to be carving out a distinctive, if idiosyncratic, niche in Bundesliga. His skillset veers towards the unique, with a staggering 100th percentile rating in Progressive Carrying, demonstrating a riveting ability to drive the play forward fearlessly. However, his statistics present mixed messages about his end-product efficiency.
Chance Creation and Ball Retention are located firmly in middle-of-the-road territory at 32.5% and 37.5% respectively - neither spectacular nor disastrous. There's a similar story with his Assists per 90 and xA per 90, hovering around half of his peer group, mirroring his overall pass accuracy.
Conversely, concerning weaknesses are apparent when we look at Goal Threat and Goal Efficiency, both languishing below the 25th percentile. This infers that Maina is not a clinical final-third player, despite his dynamic contributions elsewhere. His Goals per 90 stat is dismally low at 7.89%, which cannot be overlooked for a player who fills a role across the front line.
Worth mentioning is the frequency with which he loses possession - a borderline worry at the 55.26th percentile. However, excitingly, Linton carries potential to improve with age, as his athleticism and technical abilities appear to be strong foundations to build upon. It will be intriguing to see how he progresses in the coming seasons.
