Rafik Guitane Scout Report

Rafik Guitane has asserted himself as one of the most exciting right wingers in Portugal's Primeira Liga, thanks to an impressive 2023-24 season with Estoril. He is a constant attacking menace - his Progressive Carrying is at an exceptional 100%, meaning he is peerless in terms of advancing play forward with his direct style. This, coupled with his strong Chance Creation with 83.64% and Progressive Passing at 78.18%, signifies his knack for instigating and sustaining offensive threats. Guitane is sparkling in Ball Retention too, he ranks in the 90.91 percentile - his ball control and skill set him aside from most of his peers. He is quite a potent goal contributor, ranking in the 96.36 percentile for Goal Efficiency, although his Goal Threat percentile is lower at 36.36, suggesting he may not be the main goal scoring option for his team. However, Guitane needs to improve on recovering the ball, as the 38.18 percentile indicates that this is a part of his game where he often struggles. Furthermore, with a Successful Crosses percentile of 33.33, it's clear improving crosses must become a priority for Guitane. His high dispossession score of 98.15% might be a concern, as it highlights he loses the ball often - a potential liability in crucial situations. Yet, this can be offset by his remarkable Successful Dribbles per 90, also at 98.15%, which again demonstrates his fantastic ability on the ball. Guitane is now 25, traditionally the peak age for a footballer, and if he can improve his weaker areas he could develop into one of the league's best. But equally, he already has some truly elite aspects to his game, being especially dangerous during Estoril's attacking forays.
