Matthew Sorinola, at 23 years young, is a promising figure at Plymouth Argyle and shows glimpses of significant aptitude in Championship. Occupying the right-midfield position, he has revealed an outstanding ability to assist and succeed with crosses, boasting percentile rankings of 71.43% and 72.73% respectively. These figures are testimony to his sharpened creative instincts, quick-thinking, and precise delivery at such an early stage of his career.
However, it's not all smooth sailing for Sorinola. His possession skills and chance creation metrics position him in the lowermost echelons of his peer group, with a paltry 5.19% ball retention and a 2.59% chance creation rating. His percentile score for progressive carrying also lingers in the same region, highlighting major weaknesses in his control over the ball, dribbling skills, and playmaking abilities. His poorest metric is successful dribbles per 90, landing in the bottommost domain with a dismal 1.3%.
But, amidst the persisting concerns, Sorinola's goal threat and goal efficiency metrics hover around the middle of the group, indicating average goal-scoring prowess. With better ball control and more agility in transitional movements, there's room for Sorinola to grow into a major asset on the right flank.
Despite the setbacks, he hasn't reached his peak yet, and the raw abilities he possesses point towards an upward trajectory in his footballing career. It will be interesting to keep an eye on this young talent.
