Will Keane, aged 31, applies his trade as a striker for Preston North End in the Championship, but can efficiently switch into an attacking midfield role when need be. He's an exceptionally controlled player, with percentile rankings illustrating his superior ball recovery and retention abilities, positioned at 85.7% and 87.3% respectively. These stats confirm Keane as a formidable offensive presence who excels in retaining possession and maintaining the flow of play. One of Keane's striking strengths is his goal efficiency, ranking an incredible 93.65%, showcasing his precision and knack for capitalizing on opportunities in front of the net. His impressive 70.49% goals per 90 metric further showcases his reliable scoring prowess.
However, within his technique, there lie areas that could benefit from fine-tuning. Keane's chance creation and progressive carrying fall disappointingly in the 22.2% and 12.7% percentiles respectively. This implies a deficiency in creating opportunities for his teammates and advancing the ball forward, both critical areas for his roles on the pitch. Yet, despite these shortcomings, his higher percentile in assists per 90, standing at 52.46%, suggests he still displays a substantial strengthening influence in the attacking third.
Overall, Keane's experience and efficiency make him a valuable asset for Preston North End, despite a few areas needing improvement. His years in the Championship, marked by consistently high performance levels, demonstrate a player who may not be the flashiest, but is certainly one of the most dependable.
