Yaser Asprilla, Watford's 20-year-old innovative dynamo, has consistently reinforced his value in the Championship this past season. Hailing from Colombia, Asprilla has made his mark primarily as a Right Winger, yet his versatility has enabled him to fill in effectively as an Attacking Midfielder, Left Winger and even as the Striker when the need arises.
The pinnacle of Asprilla's talents lies within his remarkable ability to create scoring opportunities, a quality that places him in the 94.81 percentile amongst his peers. Likewise, his aptitude for progressive passing also ranks in the same high percentile, testifying to his astute vision and robust passing prowess. Furthermore, his assists per 90 of 88.31%, proficient dribbling shown by 80.52%, coupled with his superior cross delivery of 84.42% indicates that Asprilla is not just an incisive creative force but an overall attacking threat.
However, with strengths come areas for improvement. The statistics tell a tale of a player with talent but also some inefficiency, with a goal efficiency of just 23.38%. Also his tendency for being dispossessed per 90, ranking a lowly 38.96%, suggests that Asprilla might significantly benefit from focusing on bolstering his ball protection and decision-making skills under pressure.
Regardless, given his tender age, Asprilla shows extraordinary promise. If he nurtures and develops the right aspects of his game, the young Colombian might just be the next sensation not just in the Championship, but in world soccer.
