In this scout report, we zone in on the young French defender, Maxime Estève. Currently holding the backline for Burnley, after his stint at Montpellier in Ligue 1, he demonstrates a highly distinctive playing style that sets him apart. It begs attention that at the tender age of 21, he is already displaying a certain adeptness for chance creation, a trait not commonly predominant in a center back. Here, his stats tower over a whopping 85 percentile. However, a closer scrutiny into Estève’s player stats reveals certain shortcomings that could be potential stumbling blocks in his progression. His ball recovery and ball retention scores are dangerously low for a player of his position, languishing at just above 10 and close to 3 percentiles respectively. Equally concerning is his progressive carrying as well as his passing prowess which barely cross the 8 percentile mark, with his pass accuracy hitting rock bottom at an alarming 1.5 percentile. Despite these setbacks, Estève compensates somewhat with a reasonably commendable interception rate hovering above 83 percentile. However, his aptness to gain possession needs work, as implied by his relatively low duel win rate and the meager percentage of total touches. In terms of play preferences, Estève seems to be most comfortable in the defensive third, although he sporadically ventures into the midfield third. Rarely does he foray into the attacking third. While his defensive partiality is typical for a center back, his lack of involvement in attacks restricts his contribution to the offensive. However, given his surprisingly high chance creation ability, there is room for evolution in his style of play. All things considered, Estève is a raw talent brimming with potential, his imperfections only an echo of youthful inexperience that can be honed with time and practice.
