Rafael Leão Scout Report

Rafael Leão's campaign this season at Milan exemplifies his remarkable flair and dynamic presence on the pitch, fitting the scout report as a quintessential attacking force. His style of play is marked by explosive pace and a lethal one-on-one ability, highlighted by his almost unrivalled dribbling success. He's a constant threat with the ball, frequently destabilising defences with progressive runs, and his chance creation stats place him among the elite in Serie A. Leão's understanding of spatial dynamics allows him to produce high xG and xA despite moderate ball retention and less-than-stellar pass accuracy, underscoring a direct, incisive approach in the final third. However, significantly low goal efficiency suggests he needs to fine-tune his finishing instincts to convert his high shot volume into goals more consistently. His ball recovery rate does leave room for improvement, potentially affecting his contribution off the ball in terms of defensive duties. At 25, Leão's honed offensive instincts are clear, yet enhancing consistency and defensive output could elevate him to even greater heights.
