Kévin Denkey Scout Report

Kévin Denkey proves to be a formidable striking power during the 2023-2024 Pro League A season, with his goal efficiency and goal threat ranking extraordinarily high. Our scout report delineates a player whose style of play magnifies his proficiencies in direct attacks and chance creation. Notably, he has a clear propensity for successful dribbles and shooting, indicated by his radiantly high percentile scores in these areas. Despite his relatively young age of 23, he demonstrates remarkable placement in being a reliable goal scorer with his goals per 90 metrics nearly eclipsing his peers. He has a knack for interpreting XG and XA probabilities with high efficiency, offering more leverage for his team, Cercle Brugge. This is not to discount his room for improvement. Areas particularly needing attention would be in improving his pass accuracy and his overall duel win percentages- aspects that linger on the lower end of the spectrum. Furthermore, his progressive carrying seems wanting, suggesting difficulty in moving the ball forward. One would suggest his playing style needs refinement in these areas. Denkey's player stats do venture into intermittent danger zones, as his fouls committed and the number of yellow cards demonstrate a need for disciplined ball challenge - an aspect that could potentially mar his otherwise promising career. Yet, his strength in ball recovery and high activity in the attacking third support his aggressive style of play. Drawing attention to his possession area metrics, Denkey is bothered little by defensive responsibilities spending most of the time in the attacking third and the midfield. A truly prolific striker, he's more likely to be found in the attacking penalty area, concocting goals with almost clinical precision. This talented Togolese player, while needing to iron out a few issues, weaves a promising future in his craft.
