Stéphane Bahoken's performance in the 2023-2024 Süper Lig season demands our attention. At 32, his style of play in the striker role for Kayserispor showcases his extreme strength in ball retention. According to the player stats, he trumps all his fellow league strikers in this metric. Not many balls simply bounce off him, a testament to his ability to control and protect the ball effectively. He also shows a significant goal threat and successful dribble frequency, landing in the top 30% and 60% of his fellow strikers respectively, highlighting his agility and capacity to leverage scoring opportunities.
However, even the best players have room for improvement. Bahoken, sailing in the lower quartiles for chance creation and goal efficiency, has somewhat underwhelmed this season. His assist-to-minute ratio also languishes in the 12th percentile, suggesting a lack of creative flare in his play-making abilities. Bahoken may score frequently, but the stats suggest he doesn't contribute much to setting up goals for others. His unexpectedly low goal efficiency, despite high goal threat, indicates a need to focus on refining his finishing skills.
Nonetheless, with a pass accuracy landing him in the 91st percentile, Bahoken demonstrates an admirable precision in his passing game. The Kayserispor striker may not have made waves this season, but his performance is consistent, solid and punctuated with bursts of brilliance. His scout report from this season probably reads: a reliable striker with excellent ball retention, promise in his progressive carrying, and a knack for accuracy under fire, but a player who could benefit greatly from ramping up his goal efficiency and chance creation skills.
