Marcus Harness

Marcus Harness, now plying his trade at Derby County, brings an intriguing blend of skills to the attacking midfield role. At 29, he's in the prime of his career, and his style of play is marked by an impressive goal efficiency, suggesting a knack for finding the net when it matters. His ability to recover the ball is commendable, showing a diligent work rate and an eye for intercepting play. However, his ball retention leaves much to be desired, often surrendering possession too easily, which can disrupt the team's attacking momentum. While he's capable of creating chances, his progressive passing and carrying could use a bit more polish to truly unlock defences. Defensively, he's more effective when defending the penalty area than in one-on-one situations, indicating a more positional than confrontational approach. This scout report suggests that while Harness has certain standout qualities, refining his ball-handling and defensive versatility could enhance his overall contribution to the team.
