Young Dutch forward, Mohamed Sankoh, has been turning heads during the 2023-2024 Eredivisie season. At the young age of 20, shining for Heracles as their key striker displays a certain future promise. His key strength lies in his goal threat ability, reflected in his maximal percentile positioning, making him an unambiguous force to be reckoned with in front of the goal. Sankoh has an above-average proclivity for ball retention, with data putting him within the top quarter of his peers, while his progressive carrying falls within the top two-thirds. This indicates a player comfortable with the ball and capable of driving his team forward.
However, while scoring is Sankoh's forte, his efficiency finds itself at the lower end, with a percentile score of just above 7%, indicating a need to convert more of the numerous chances he gets into goals. His progressive passing and pass accuracy per 90 minutes are also notably modest, suggesting limited playmaking abilities. His assists per 90 minutes are also decidedly low, hinting at a player more attuned to finishing than setting up plays. The young striker will need to enhance these aspects of his game to evolve into an all-rounded forward.
Despite these areas needing improvement, Sankoh has an indisputable knack for producing goals, as indicated by the xG (expected goals) rate per 90 minutes of over 92%. Do keep your eyes on this young man, for his talent is undeniable and potential vast. The coming years will be critical in his development; should he utilize them well, we might just have a future superstar in the making.
