At 22 years old, Ibrahim Salah is showcasing a praiseworthy potential playing as a left midfielder for Rennes in Ligue 1. Despite a rather average display in ball recovery and retention, falling into the 38th and 36th percentiles respectively, not to mention a modest 16% showing in progressive passing, he compensates spectacularly in areas more integral to his offensive role.
A phenomenal goal threat, Salah shines in the 100th percentile — an unrivaled prowess supported by an impressive 98th percentile goal rate per 90. His natural instinct for goal efficiency lands him strongly in the 70th percentile, and rate of assists, along with successful crosses per 90 is respectable, perched at 58th percentile.
His above-average chance creation and strength in progressive carrying, embodying the 58% and 40% percentiles, demonstrate his propensity for driving the game forward. Moreover, Salah's skill is not only marked by his dangerous presence around the opponent's goal, but also the frequency of him being dispossesed is rated at a staggering 94%, suggesting defences have a tough time prising the ball off him.
A proclivity for successful dribbles, positioned in the 68th percentile, and an impressive 82% for shots per 90 accentuate Salah's attack-oriented dynamism. That being said, his low progressive passing percentile draw attention to a potential area for improvement. Overall, Salah represents a terrfic promise, particularly for a player barely out of his adolescence. The Moroccan sensation's tendency to disrupt opposition defenses makes him an intriguing prospect to monitor moving forward.
