Liverpool have signed Hugo Ekitiké. Everyone keeps saying the Frenchman is a mini version of Alexander Isak, another target for the club. Sleek, slim and smooth, the aesthetics are similar, but what about the skillsets? @JakeEntwistle has used data to find the truth.
Viktor Gyökeres is the Poster Boy of our Power Forward Archetype for two key reasons: 1. the sheer number of Runs he makes 2. the sheer Speed at which he makes them This thread will explain his game-breaking profile using @SkillCorner data.
🚨 Arsenal developing strong interest in Viktor Gyokeres as possible striker signing. Andrea Berta firm admirer of 26yo #SportingCP forward - expected to figure prominently among #AFC options + may be more realistic than Isak. W/ @gunnerblog @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/62408…
Viktor Gyökeres is having a very good season in Portugal, absolutely, but he also had a couple of very good seasons for Coventry in the Championship. One season of scoring for a dominant Sporting team has pumped up his value by upwards of €60 million. Woof.
Just to confirm which side we’re on.
Why does no one want Rafael Leão? The answer is fairly simple, he does not press as well as other in-demand wingers. But the intense focus on what he doesn't do moves away from his rare blend of superpowers. He is the personification of the Gamebreaker Archetype, inspired by…
Everton have been linked to Adam Aznou, a proper SCOUTED favourite. Here is one of our UEFA Youth League write-ups on him which should reveal all you need to know for now.
Is your club looking for a dynamic, progressive defender with the credentials to play at the elite level? If so, they should have Lucas Høgsberg near the top of their shortlists. @ffwtbollew introduces you to the 19-year-old as he enters his breakout season at FC Nordsjælland.
Not many will have heard of him, but Evann Guessand has just had a breakout season in Ligue 1 at OGC Nice. After bubbling away on loan at Lausanne then Nantes in previous campaigns, he came to the boil this past year, registering 20 goals and assists in total, adding output to a…
Is Hugo Ekitiké an Alexander Isak regen? I profiled three iterations of both players alongside a set of elite centre-forwards to find out how similar they are for @scoutedftbl. Dive in. scoutedftbl.com/hugo-ekitike-a…
◉ Played loads of minutes in LaLiga ◉ Excellent defensive footwork ◉ Adds versatile depth to backline ◉ Have rival clubs missed a trick? Arsenal have signed Cristhian Mosquera, another defender. Some may ridicule that, but here's why it's an important and impressive deal.
We are really, really, really, really, really, really, really excited for Kees Smit at AZ Alkmaar this season. We are predicting big things.
This is why every elite club has been linked to Alexander Isak. This is why Newcastle United will demand a record-breaking fee.
You know who would be an astute signing for Newcastle United? Loïs Openda. This is a 25-year-old that has scored 99 goals in his last five seasons for Vitesse, Lens and RB Leipzig. His runs in behind are relentless, he moves with speed and robustness, defenders hate to play…
FC Nordsjælland keep producing top-level talent from their academies. One of the latest is Lucas Høgsberg, a dynamic defender that platforms possession and zips through pressure. Get him while you can, because he suits the elite teams already. scoutedftbl.com/introducing-lu…
