Despite being just 19, Khalil Fayad has already carved out an impressive status at Montpellier FC, demonstrating remarkable tenacity and skill as a left winger in France's top-flight Ligue 1. Fayad's proficiency in ball recovery and retention is commendable, ranking within the top tiers at an impressive 68% and 86% respectively amongst his counterparts. This, coupled with his above-average goal efficiency (72%) and threat (62%), make him a formidable player up front.
However, Fayad's role as a winger is somewhat undermined by his poor chance creation, ranking a lowly 6% amongst his peers. Equally worrying is his lack of progressive carrying, ranked at 16%, indicating he struggles to consistently drive the ball forward with control. Fayad's ability to execute successful crosses and dribbles per game is also notably weakened with rankings of 18% and 12% respectively.
Yet, there is a silver lining in his solid goal and assists ratios per 90 minutes. At 70% and 13% respectively, these statistics underline his potential as a clinical finisher if he can enhance his overall contribution. In conclusion, while Fayad is undoubtedly talented with obvious strengths in ball recovery, retention, and goal efficiency, he must address his obvious weaknesses in chance creation and on-ball progression to refine his potential and make full use of his youth.
