Samuel Grandsir, the 27-year-old French left-winger on Le Havre's roster, has a playing style that illuminates his potential. In the 2023-2024 Ligue 1 season, his propensity for attacking flair is evident - a menace in the final third with his chance-creation and progressive passing both ranking in the 76th percentile. He's not merely a creator, his xG per 90 sits in the exceptional 96th percentile, testifying to a phenomenal knack for getting into dangerous scoring positions.
However, the razor-sharp spectrum of his game has a blunt edge. Just one look at critical ball-related stats unveils his limitations. Grandsir's ball retention, sitting at a lowly 6th percentile, signals a significant weakness in maintaining possession. Additionally, his barely-adequate progressive carrying and less-than-stellar dribbles stand at the 32nd and 26th percentiles respectively, hinting towards room for improvement in directional control and one-on-one situations. Now aged 27, it’s questionable whether these can be ironed out or if they're being eclipsed by his formidable offensive prowess.
In essence, Grandsir is an enigma, a player whose strengths are as prominent as his weaknesses. His style rewards those with a deep love for the attacking game, while a keen eye can spot areas where growth is not just desired, but essential.
