Steve Ngoura

In this scout report on Steve Ngoura, the young centre forward from Cercle Brugge, we see a player whose style of play combines raw potential with a few areas ripe for development. At just 20, Ngoura's goal threat is notable, suggesting he has an eye for finding those crucial scoring opportunities, even if his goal efficiency indicates there's room for refinement in converting them. He demonstrates a promising capability in progressive carrying, hinting at a forward who can drive the ball forward effectively, although his ball retention and chance creation are areas that could benefit from honing. Surprisingly, Ngoura's defensive stats, particularly his prowess in 1v1 defending, are exceptional for a player in his role, indicating an unusual versatility that could be an asset in pressing or counter-pressing systems. While his progressive passing shows flashes of promise, there's a sense that with further development, Ngoura could become a more complete forward, blending his attacking instincts with these emerging skills.
