Riccardo Orsolini, a right winger for Bologna in Serie A, has consistently established himself as one of Serie A's deadliest finishers in the 2023-2024 season, despite being well into his late 20s. His remarkable goal efficiency (97th percentile) and formidable goal threat (80th percentile) is backed up by his goals per 90 and xG per 90 stats, both residing in the top 5% of league peers, translating into a direct and formidable threat in front of the goal. Orsolini's chance creation also ranks highly (84th percentile), coupled with successful crosses (86th percentile) and assists per game, making him not only a potent goal scorer but also a reliable creator for his team.
However, where Orsolini excels in the attacking third, he does face challenges when it comes down to retaining ball possession, as demonstrated by his modest ball retention record (15th percentile), and a pass accuracy barely above the bottom third among his peers (34th percentile). Such metrics portray a player biased towards a direct style of play, valuing quick offensive transitions over controlled possession. His ball recovery and dispossession rates hovering around the middle ground further emphasize this point.
At 27, Orsolini's outstanding output is driven by experience and continued growth rather than youthful potential, making him a key player to watch in this and the coming seasons.
