Andi Zeqiri Scout Report
In this scout report, we're looking at Swiss striker, Andi Zeqiri. At just 24 and playing for Genk in the Pro League A, Zeqiri is a formidable figure on the pitch. His high percentiles in a number of key metrics paint a picture of a strong attacking player. His goal threat and shots per 90 stand at an impressive 100% - Zeqiri doesn't waste time when he gets the ball, always posing a serious threat to opponents' goals. Meanwhile, his chance creation ranks among the top of his peers, highlighting his contribution to building up play and creating scoring opportunities.
However, Zeqiri doesn’t just shine on the attacking front. His interceptions are in the high percentile, demonstrating his defensive contributions and his ability to read the game. But this facet of his play doesn't come without a drawback, as his yellow card and fouls committed percentile are quite high, indicative of aggressive tackling.
His goal efficiency, surprisingly, only falls in the 36th percentile - suggesting that while his threat on goal and shots rates are high, the conversion into actual goals may leave some room for improvement. In addition, his aerial duels win percentage and duel win percentage are quite low, suggesting that his skills in handling one-on-one situations or aerial balls may need some fine-tuning.
As for his style of play, his significant action areas are mainly in the attacking and midfield third, indicative of an attacking forward player with moderate defensive responsibilities. His touches metric is modest, which combined with his high xA, shots, and xG percentiles, outlines a player who is incredibly direct in attack, making each possession count.
In summary, Andi Zeqiri is a potent and direct striker with a high goal threat. While there are areas for improvement, particularly in his dueling ability and aggression, he shows much promise with his chance creation and direct, impactful style of play.
