Scout report: Zaydou Youssouf is one of the most promising defensive midfielders emerging from Famalicao in Portugal's Primeira Liga. With the ability to also function as a central midfielder, Youssouf exhibits exemplary savviness in his style of play. He highlighted his exceptional talents in ball recovery (95th percentile), ball retention (95th percentile), and impressive successful dribble completions per match (95th percentile). His sharp ability to recover possession and keep hold of the ball under pressure demonstrates his ability to dictate the rhythm and flow of the game. Another noteworthy aspect of Youssouf's game is his progressive carrying and progressive passing, both ranking in the high 80 percentiles. These stats underline his role as an incisive pivot circulating the ball with purpose and penetration. However, there's room for improvement in his ball-playing duties, with a middling rank in chance creation (43rd percentile) and pass accuracy per 90 minutes (51st percentile). His performance in one-on-one disputes is particularly astonishing with a 100th percentile duel win rate, signalling his exceptional determination and physical prowess. His aerial duel success rate (77th percentile) also shows his effectiveness in aerial combat, not a common strength of midfielders. Youssouf’s goal efficiency and goal threat percentile rankings at 80 and 27 percent respectively, indicate that he's not a prolific goal scorer from deep, but when opportunities arise, he tends to be clinical. Despite this fierce midfield general's aggressive style of play, Youssouf showed remarkable discipline, committing an average number of fouls and receiving less than an average number of yellow cards, keeping a balance between physical play and fair play. However, revealing a potential point of improvement, Youssouf tends to operate more from deeper regions of the pitch, evident in his relatively low activity in the attacking penalty area (0.72%). The idea of a midfielder tasked with dictating play from deep isn't uncommon but introducing more adventurous forays into opposition territory could elevate his game. Overall, 24-year-old Youssouf seems to have immense growth potential. This combination of defensive diligence and progressive play makes him a commanding presence in the heart of the midfield, a player who not only disrupts opposition attacks but also spurs his own team forward.
