Talented young winger Johan Bakayoko of PSV is being linked with a transfer to Liverpool – data led us to Bakayoko in September 2022 and we tracked him throughout the 2022/23 season assessing he was ready for Tier 1 football.
Who is Johan Bakayoko?
“Johan Bakayoko is a bright young winger who generally plays as an inverted winger down the right flank.
He has very quick feet which allows him to cut in from the right onto his left, even when predictable.
He looks to play short passes in field into his forwards or reverse passes for his runners when cutting in from the right.
He drifts in field after making his passes and manages to get on the end of crosses and chances fairly regularly.
His defensive work rate is better in the opposition half than in his own and can improve.
He needs to improve his finishing and decision making at times to improve his numbers.
He can also work on being more unpredictable and opening up his body to use his right foot to keep defenders guessing and speed up play.”
