At 29, Wesley Saïd is exhibiting a marvelous prestige on the pitch under the colors of Lens. While his experience is evident, striking his name into the 2023-2024 Ligue 1 season's prospect list, his talents go beyond his age. With a staggering 90.625 percentile ranking in Chance Creation - indicative of Saïd's inventive play style that sees him constantly seeking out contacts with the goal, he is a breadwinner for Lens. His inverse correlation between Ball Recovery (31.25%) and Ball Retention (81.25%) highlights his tactical preference for keeping the ball rather than winning it back — a potential area for augmentation if he is to become a more well-rounded striker. Among his striking assets, his Progressive Carrying and Goal per 90 stand apart, both above 80 percentile, nodding to his proclivity to drive forward, underscored by a lethal finishing touch in front of the net. His Shots per 90 at a near impeccable 96.88% only entrenches his reputation as a prolific marksman. However, areas such as Pass Accuracy per 90 (59.38%) and Assists per 90 (43.75%) reveal room for improvement. Nonetheless, his overarching profile signals a decisive figure capable of puzzle-breaking passes, perfectly kicked shots, and progressive carries — all of which make him a formidable power player in the French top flight.
