Morgan Sanson

Morgan Sanson, plying his trade in the engine room at Nice, brings a mature and nuanced style of play to the Ligue 1. At 30, he's less about explosive youth and more about seasoned efficiency. His ability to recover the ball is commendable, showing a keen sense of positioning and anticipation, which is invaluable in breaking up opposition play. Yet, his ball retention could use refinement, as he occasionally struggles to maintain possession under pressure. Creativity isn't his forte, but he's adept at threading progressive passes, linking defence and attack with purpose and precision. Sanson's real prowess, however, lies in his goal-scoring efficiency and ever-present threat, making him a surprising asset in advanced roles. Defensively, while his 1v1 capabilities are solid, his contributions around the penalty area might not intimidate the most cunning attackers. Nonetheless, his blend of experience and attacking acumen provides a reliable option in midfield, as evidenced by his player stats this season.
