Malick Fofana Scout Report

At just 19, Malick Fofana is demonstrating impressive versatility in the Lyon squad, comfortably slotting into a variety of positions from left wing-back to striker. What marks him out are his exceptional ball retention and progressive carrying abilities, with his percentile rankings against his peers for both at a staggering 97.14% and 94.28% respectively, hinting at an impressive ability to take control of the game. An 82.85% chance creation also underlines his playmaking qualities. However, his goal threat and goal efficiency leave much to be desired at 34.28% and 45.71% respectively. His pass accuracy per 90 minutes is also a weak point, ranking at just 35.29%. Fofana perhaps fumbles under pressure, with a low percentile in dispossession at just 11.76%, which is something he needs to work upon. Nevertheless, his strong cross completion rate of 79.41% shows his ability to deliver quality passes, making him a useful asset in attack despite his lower goal-per-game ratios. At only 19, there is ample time for this young Belgian to refine his craft, with bucketloads of potential waiting to be tapped.
