Samu Costa Scout Report

Samu Costa, at 24, is establishing himself as a linchpin in Mallorca's midfield, leveraging an impressive ability to recover the ball, where he ranks amongst the elite. His ball recovery stat sits as a testament to his knack for disrupting opposition play, making him a defensive asset. Yet, despite this prowess, his overall ball retention needs refinement. Costa's style of play often sees him dominating aerial duels, a key strength, demonstrating his command over physical contests. Offensively, while his assists per match are commendable, his goal threat is relatively muted, a result of limited progressive carrying – a current chink in his armour. His passing accuracy also leaves room for growth, affecting his ability to seamlessly transition play from defence to attack. Nonetheless, his tendency to get involved across the midfield indicates a box-to-box dynamo in the making. This scout report underscores a player with solid defensive qualities but also reveals opportunities for improvement in advancing the ball and enhancing his attacking output. For Costa, enhancing these aspects will round off his skillset and transform him into a more complete midfielder.
