Yves Bissouma Scout Report
Yves Bissouma is a versatile player skilled primarily in the defensive midfielder role, but also proficient in the central midfielder position. Playing for Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League, he presents strong ball recovery and retention skills, ranking in the top tier among his peers. This indicates he is reliable in maintaining possession and regaining the ball.
Bissouma shows considerable defensive strength particularly in one-on-one situations, exemplifying robust tackling skills. His ability to win duels is above average, and he is reasonably adept in aerial situations. There is, however, scope for improvement in his penalty area defending, demonstrating more of a midfield mindset rather than a defensive one.
The area where Bissouma fails to shine is in his offensive contribution, with low percentages for chance creation and goal efficiency, which suggests he’s better suited to keeping the play flowing and feeding the ball to more offensively-oriented teammates than taking shots himself. His progressive carrying and passing marks are notably high, underlining his ability to move the ball up-field accurately and successfully.
While his touch count is high, suggesting frequent possession, his assists and shots percentages are on the lower side. This further consolidates the view that he's a key element in ball distribution and movement, but less involved in finishing opportunities.
His higher age of 26 ensures a healthy level of experience, while still promising potential growth and development. He does well within his role and skill set, with limited support towards goal-scoring events.
