Pape Gueye Scout Report

Pape Gueye's scout report for the 2024-2025 season paints a picture of an industrious central midfielder, equally adept in defence and attack. Playing for Villarreal in La Liga, he's shown significant strength in progressive passing, ranking impressively high amongst his peers. This ability to advance the ball upfield makes him pivotal in transitioning from defence to attack. While his goal efficiency is surprisingly low, Gueye compensates with a formidable shot rate, indicating a direct approach in the final third and a willingness to challenge defences. However, his ball retention and pass accuracy lag behind, suggesting a propensity for surrendering possession too easily—a potential area for improvement if he wishes to evolve into a complete midfielder. Despite having relatively average touches in the midfield third, his knack for winning duels and recovering the ball suggests a solid defensive contribution, underscored by his high duel win percentage. Overall, Gueye's style of play combines defensive grit with sporadic attacking bursts, making him a dynamic, albeit occasionally erratic, presence in the heart of the pitch.
