Pierre Højbjerg Scout Report
Pierre Højbjerg, currently at Tottenham Hotspur, shines as a central midfielder with an impressive ability with ball recovery and retention, frequently winning back possession and maintaining it successfully for his side. This observation is supported by his excellent pass accuracy, showcasing his exceptional distributing capabilities. He's gifted in progressive carrying, adding a vertical dimension to his team's buildup play, and even more remarkably, his progressive passing indicates an ability to advance the play down the field efficiently.
However, his offensive capabilities are somewhat limited. While his chance creation is moderate, his goal efficiency and goal threat percentiles are below average. This suggests that Højbjerg, while frequently involved in the attacking play, doesn't necessarily convert those opportunities into goals.
In terms of defending, Højbjerg displays a lower percentile in both one vs one defending and penalty area defending; thus indicating room for improvement in these areas. Despite his lower percentage in winning duels, his high rate of ball recovery shows that he has a knack for anticipating play and intercepting passes. At the age of 27, Højbjerg is at his peak and his performances reflect a player who is integral to his team's midfield operations.
