Takumi Minamino Scout Report

Our attention today is on lynchpin attacking midfielder for Monaco, Takumi Minamino. 29-year-old Minamino dominates playmaking and goal-scoring stats of Ligue 1, according to the latest scout reports. A deep dive into his player stats from the 2023-2024 season uncovers an incredible talent who rarely misses an opportunity to pose a goal threat. He belongs to the top echelon of players when it comes to goal efficiency, sitting among the coveted top 2% of his peers, a trait reflected notably in his goals per 90 being in the dizzying 98th percentile. Minamino is adept at creating chances, a skill that puts him in the upper 75th percentile. His high ranking in goal threat and assists per 90 also proves him to be a consistent danger in the box. However, a deep dive into his play reveals inconsistencies, with his ball retention skills languishing in the bottom 5%, indicating that keeping possession under pressure remains a challenge. His exceptionally low rankings in pass accuracy, recoveries, duel win percentage and low touches intensity also hint at a player who might struggle to dictate the play or engage in combative midfield tussles. Further supported by his negligible presence in the defensive third and penalty area, it is clear that Minamino is more of a direct offensive weapon than a rounded midfielder. Yet, despite these weaknesses, his stellar goal contribution metrics cannot be ignored. Minamino is an exceptional attacking midfielder who maximizes his time on the ball, albeit brief, to pose a serious goal threat. Every time he's in possession, the opponents should be on high alert.
