The place does Leny Yoro match for Liverpool?
One of many nice questions forward of the opening of the summer time window on June 14. Will a long-term inheritor for Virgil van Dijk be prioritised? Or will Joel Matip’s exit on a free switch encourage our recruitment crew to safe an appropriate right-sided centre-half?
That’s a quite tough query to reply when analysing Leny Yoro. Assuming we nonetheless need an aerially dominant left-sided centre-back, {the teenager} wouldn’t look like the best reply. His common aerial duel win price with Lille is 62.9% – a big drop-off from our No.4’s common of 76%, in response to FBref.
Regardless of, although. The Ligue 1 footballer sometimes performs as a right-sided centre-back in a again 4. Although we might assume Paulo Fonseca’s directions and tactical type clarify an absence of progressive carries (one thing Matip has constructed up a fame for at Liverpool), it’s encouraging to see that the Frenchman is able to taking over a person (69th percentile for profitable take-ons).
Finally, essentially the most encouraging ingredient of Yoro’s sport needs to be his reliability on the ball. FBref have him up within the 93rd percentile for move completion.
Maybe not a Virgil van Dijk successor, however there’s each chance he might be a really perfect companion to our Dutch skipper.
