Kévin Gameiro Scout Report

Veteran striker Kévin Gameiro, riding out his twilight years at Strasbourg in Ligue 1, is a testament to the adage that age is nothing but a number. At 37, Gameiro's game has evolved to rely more on his intelligence and technical prowess. Indeed, his adhesive ball retention (96.875%, amongst the top percentile) gives his side excellent strategic control, while his gift for chance creation (78.125%) and progressive passing (81.25%) ensures he remains an offensive linchpin, despite low direct goal threat (3.125%). The Frenchman's quality delivery is further evidenced by his xA per 90 rate (90.62%); though his own scoring potential is less prolific, with only 18.75% goals per 90, and surprisingly low xG per 90 (6.25%). Gameiro may not be the force he once was inside the box, but his evolved style demonstrates a player cognizant of his ageing physicality, prioritizing the enhancement of his team's offensive play. However, even as a highly involved and thoughtful player, his subpar ball recovery (43.75%) suggests a notable absence in defensive contributions, a weakness that opponents might exploit.
