Yusuf Yazıcı Scout Report

Yusuf Yazıcı, at age 27, currently plays as an integral part of Lille's attacking force in France's Ligue 1. Primarily a striker who is equally adroit as a right winger or attacking midfielder, Yazıcı is a player who embodies the tenets of progressive play with remarkable distinction. Notably, his Progressive Carrying ability shines in the 87.5th percentile of his peers -- a statistic indicative of his exceptional dexterity in navigating the ball forward amid dense defensive tactics. His Progressive Passing, too, is superior, ranking within the 78.125 percentile. This suggests Yazıcı has a knack for penetrating defences with insightful and ambitious passes. A salient highlight of his playing style is his propensity for chance creation, with a percentile score of 68.75, undeniably reflecting his outstanding vision and inventiveness in unsettling opposition. Moreover, he has high rates in both assists per 90 (65.62%) and an even higher Pass Accuracy per 90 (90.62%), thereby accentuating his creativity and precision in the final third. However, efficacy in front of the goal is a probable area of improvement, given his middling Goal Efficiency (46.875%), Goal Threat (37.5%), and Goals per 90 (37.5%) percentiles. His Expected Goals (xG) per 90 also lags behind, sitting at the 31.25th percentile. Yet, with a hopeful spark, his xA per 90 illuminates the pitch with an impressive 93.75 percent, suggesting that his influence often results in concrete goal-scoring opportunities for his teammates, even if his own finishing touch does leave room for refinement. Despite his supposedly underwhelming goal-scoring metrics, Yazıcı is a compelling asset to Lille's attack, largely due to his ability to disrupt defensive structures with his progressive play and knack for creating chances.
