Justin Njinmah has been a standout performer for Werder Bremen during the 2023-24 season. Playing predominantly as a striker but also shifting into the roles of right winger and attacking midfielder, the 23-year-old German exhibits impressive adaptability. His progressive carrying ability is in the 100th percentile, a testament to his dynamic and threatening attacking style. Also remarkable is his chance creation prowess, sitting comfortably in the upper echelon at the 88th percentile, making him one of Bundesliga's most potent offensive players.
Njinmah noticeably excels in duels, ranking in the 79th percentile, leveraging his sharp instinct and timing to gain the edge in contests with opponents. Despite his lower aerial duel win rate, Njinmah partially compensates by being a noticeable goal threat in the 74th percentile. Intriguingly though, his relatively low pass accuracy and progressive passing percentile suggest room for growth in his distribution, hinting at a potential weakness in his game that could impede Bremen’s fluidity in offensive transitions.
Njinmah thrives in the attacking third, with 83.33% of touches compared to his fellow strikers. However, his percentiles in the midfield and defensive third indicate an underutilization in deeper positions, which might be a missed opportunity given his respectable ball recovery abilities.
The player’s determined performances at such a young age display ample signs of potential, and considerate strategizing could fully unlock Njinmah’s talents in attack and contribute more to the team’s defensive stand — crucial elements that Werder Bremen can harness in their quest for continued success in Bundesliga.
