Xander Blomme Scout Report
Scout reports about young defensive midfielder talents are hard to find, but Xander Blomme is undeniably one. At just 21, he's been a regular figure in the Eredivisie with Go Ahead Eagles. His craft can be found primarily in the midfield third, grace to his brilliant skill set, that reflects in a staggering percentile in progressive passing - an eye-catching 94.67%. Xander might have the eye of a hawk but seems to prefer the talons more, evidenced by his interceptions ranking at an astonishing 100%. However, the Belgian's combative style does come at a price - frequent foul commitments and an uncomfortably high rate of cautions - a risky gamble in tight matches, but part of his engaging style of play.
Allocation of strengths aside, there are significant areas for growth. His player stats show he has a low standing in progressive carrying - a mere 1.33%, and chance creation - just 8%. The same narrative follows in terms of his overall touches suggesting he's not in possession as much as a midfielder should be, hinting at a need for improvement in ball retention.
Xander Blomme, a name that promises firm defense with a hint of flair, and though not yet a perfect player, is indeed a prospect to keep an eye on. His portfolio of strengths and weaknesses reads like an exciting player with much training ground work, but a potential future star.
