At 33, Tunisian international, Wahbi Khazri may be experiencing the down slope of his career at Montpellier, but he remains a potent goal threat. Khazri's standout attribute, evidenced by a stunning 93rd percentile ranking, is his capacity to take on shots, demonstrating him as an audacious attacker who seldom shies away from taking aim. He also maintains 74th percentile in the goal threat, pointing to his role as a significant striking force.
However, these positives are counter-balanced by some notable statistics that should be of concern. Khazri's goal efficiency hovers at a worryingly low 4th percentile - a stark discrepancy that poses questions about his conversion rate. This coupled with a mere 14% goals scored per 90 minutes and his assist per 90 minutes portrays a once lethal forward struggling to consistently impact games.
While his passing is moderately progressive, ranking in the 52nd percentile, Khazri's low ball retention prowess at 30th percentile and even lower 20th percentile for being dispossessed suggest a struggle in maintaining possession which could be a tactical liability.
In a nutshell, Khazri, the left winger cum striker, remains a constant goal threat with his high shot-taking volume but needs to improve his goal efficiency and ball retention. As he ages, it will be interesting to see how his game evolves and adapts.
