Scout report for Logan Costa from the 2023-2024 season at Toulouse in the Ligue 1 paints an intriguing picture of the young Cape Verde center back. At just 23 years old, Costa's performance—with 31 matches played and well over 2600 minutes on the pitch—showcases the strong potential he brings to the table in defense.
His style of play appears to be characterized by an impressive ability to regain control of the ball for his team, a trait mirrored in his strong ball recovery stats, where he ranks high within the top quartile. However, his ball retention leaves much to be improved, reflected in his low rank around the bottom fifth percentile. Notably, in the domain of progressive passing, he excels remarkably, outdoing majority of his peers in the league, making him a vital peg in orchestrating forward movement for Toulouse.
While he holds his own in aerial duels, his general duel win stats point to a facet of his game that could benefit from improvement. Similarly, his interception stats could be given a strong booster shot. Additionally, his notable frequency of committing fouls—which puts him within the top quartile—indicates room for refinement in his tactic handling of confrontations on the pitch.
Costa's player activity and possession area stats, with more than 90% of his plays in the midfield and defensive third, underscore his essential role in Toulouse's rear-guard actions. However, his sporadic appearances in the attacking third do hint at an untapped potential as a playmaker from the back, should he look to expand his versatility. As for player stats, it seems clear: honing his decision-making and ground duel capabilities could elevate Logan Costa from a promising talent to a truly fearsome defender.
