Tom Dele-Bashiru Scout Report
Tom Dele-Bashiru embodies the quintessence of a modern central midfielder with an inclination towards a more defensive path. He's showcased remarkable capabilities in ball retention, finding himself in the impressive 90th percentile of his positional and league contemporaries. His maturity both in age and experience has allowed him to master this aspect of control in the chaotic landscape of the midfield.
Dele-Bashiru's stamp on a game is decisive and angular; he's rarely the flamboyant magician of chance creation, demonstrated by his lower percentile in this metric. However, he often tilts the odds in Watford's favour through his intriguingly high ball recovery, combining it with a shrewd sense of progressive carrying. His presence in the higher percentile of successful dribbles per 90 minutes infers a player who's adept at driving forward with the ball, thereby creating disarray within the opposing ranks.
Although he's not your conventional playmaker in terms of progressive passing, Dele-Bashiru displays exceptional commitment and consistency in duels, boasting an impressive 81.93% win rate. His relative low frequency in committing fouls and receiving yellow cards highlights a player well versed in the art of safe, yet effective tackling.
His tactical discipline manifests in his player activity and possession area stats. With the majority of his contributions situated in the midfield third and a considerate amount in the defensive third, Dele-Bashiru displays a clever understanding of positional awareness and defensive duties.
All in all, the scout report paints Dele-Bashiru as an adaptable footballer with sturdy defensive attributes, exceptional ball retention skills, and a mature approach towards his role on the pitch. However, the Nigerian international could certainly seek to improve in terms of chance creation and forward pass efficiency. His style of play is perhaps best appreciated by acknowledging the subtlety of solid and reliable midfield control over ostentatious goal stats.
