Hassane Kamara Scout Report
Hassane Kamara, Udinese's versatile left flank operator has shown significant strengths in the 2023-2024 Serie A season. At the age of 30, Kamara notably excels in Ball Recovery, ranking in the 84th percentile compared to his peers, displaying his industrious and relentless nature on field. Pair this with his Progressive Passing, where he sits in the imposing 82nd percentile, and you have a fine example of a player who is adept at both winning the ball back and launching counter-attacks.
His Ball Retention skills are commendable too, ranked at the 64th percentile, implying an above-average ability to maintain control and dictate game rhythm. Notably, his successful crosses per 90 minutes ranking at approximately the 57th percentile, amplifies his value as a player who can deliver balanced offensive contributions from wider areas.
However, Kamara does carry some areas of concern. His goal efficiency, chance creation and goal threat are significantly below average, all languishing in the 20-25th percentile bracket. This, coupled with his slightly underwhelming 'per 90' stats for assists, pass accuracy, expected goals and expected assists, sends a clear message that his actual end product could use some refinement. Defensively, his high rate of being dispossessed per game also signals room for improvement.
Overall, while Kamara's defensive solidity and ability to recover and distribute the ball are praiseworthy, areas like final-third productivity and retention under pressure could benefit from development. Nonetheless, the Ivory Coast national remains a crucial cog in the Udinese machine thanks to his strengths that outshine his weaknesses.
