Nuno Santos Scout Report

Nuno Santos exhibits a dynamic style of play that can perplex defenders, largely due to his versatility across central and wing positions. His standout prowess lies in his goal threat and shooting efficiency, placing him among the league's sharpest when it comes to finding the back of the net. With shots per 90 at an impressive percentile, Santos is incredibly direct, always seeking to pull the trigger at every opportunity. His instincts in front of goal complement a high xG per 90, showcasing his knack for being in the right place at the right time. Yet, while his attacking flair is evident, there's a stark contrast when considering his ball retention and pass accuracy, both of which are notably low. This suggests a player who, despite being potent in attack, often concedes possession during build-up phases. His ability to deliver assists is admirable, reflecting a decent progressive passing game, though inconsistent when retaining possession. In terms of on-ball activity, Santos is primarily involved in the attacking third, making him a constant threat, though his influence can fade in deeper areas where ball recoveries and duels are less successful. With immense aerial strength, he brings a dual threat both on the ground and in the air, rounding out a player whose immense attacking potential could be fulfilled by refining his ball retention skills.
