🇨🇮 19-year-old Abdoulaye Doumbia is such an exciting young talent. A CM/CDM (probably best in a double pivot) who covers so much distance on the pitch. On top of that, he is incredibly press-resistant. Has an excellent passing range and makes a lot of good line-breaking passes. 📊 In the Allsvenskan this season, he ranks among the top five midfielders for passes into the final third (9.38 per 90 minutes) and in the top 10 midfielders for progressive passes (8.09 per 90 minutes). He's really comfortable in the build-up phase for Hacken. Will always look to drop and receive. Does well to stay composed under pressure and find the right options. Defensively, he is top tier. He reads the game extremely well, capable of covering a lot of spaces and knows when to press and hold. Averages 10.56 recoveries per 90 minutes this season with 45% of those coming in the opposition's half. He also averages the fourth-most successful defensive actions (9.58 per 90 minutes) among midfielders and ranks first for possession-adjusted interceptions (7.54 per 90 minutes). He is relatively quick and his anticipation is excellent. I think he's already good enough to play for a lower-tier top five team in Europe. But his ceiling might be good enough to play for a UCL level club in the future. Probably needs to develop a bit more physically in order to make that leap. His playing style and profile reminds me a bit of Lamine Camara right now. One to keep a close eye on.
