Nathan Broadhead is a force to be reckoned with on Ipswich Town's left-wing. The Welsh international has an uncanny proclivity for goal scoring, shown by his noteworthy goal efficiency (97.4%) and goal threat (92.2%) figures – a phenomenon that positions him among the deadliest finishers in the Championship. This striking prowess is further accentuated by his splendid goals per 90 (96.1%) and expected Goals per 90 (xG 93.51%) metrics. His shots per 90 (89.61%) also highlight the relentless pressure he exerts on opposing defences with relative consistency. The young winger's ball recovery (64.9%) and retention (62.3%) abilities, coupled with his progressive passing (62.3%), illustrate his versatility in contributing substantially on both ends of the pitch.
However, Broadhead does come with a few significant weaknesses. The standout concern is his abysmal rate of successful crosses per 90 (9.09%) – an area of improvement for any natural winger. Furthermore, while his rate of being dispossessed per 90 (87.01%) showcases his robust ball handling under duress, his lower percentile pass accuracy per 90 (41.56%) and expected Assists per 90 (xA 42.86%) indicate room for development in execution and creative vision. Despite these shortcomings, at just 26, Broadhead demonstrates enormous potential and undoubtedly stands as one of the brightest assets in the Championship league.
