Samuel Iling-Junior, the 20-year-old Juventus left midfielder, is a talent that shows potential but needs further nurturing. His successful crosses per 90 minutes stand out at an impressive 95th percentile, demonstrating his precise delivery skills on the wing. Assists per 90 and expected Assist (xA) per 90 are also high at the 77th and 75th percentile respectively, presenting Iling-Junior as a generous provider. Moreover, a 75th percentile pass accuracy may hint at his impressive vision and technique.
However, Iling-Junior's statistics reveal areas of concern. His Ball Retention rate is worryingly low at only 22nd percentile, and Manageable but nonetheless problematic is his 61st percentile dispossessed per 90. These statistics reveal potential weaknesses in his ball control under pressure and relates to his Progressive Carrying rate, which sits in the lower 31st percentile. Moreover, his Score Threat and Shots per 90 are both relatively low, at the 27th and 18th percentile respectively, showing lack of aggression in front of goal.
The player’s Goal Efficiency, ticking over at the 64th percentile, suggests that when he does decide to take his chances, he tends to make it count. Given his age, there's enough time and room for significant growth in the future. If he continues to hone his already precocious crossing and passing while improving his control and shot-taking, he could become quite the formidable left winger in Serie A.
