From RT player DNA — per-90 profile for the current season window.
Sagnan is a proactive, high-engagement disruptor who treats the Super Lig as a hunting ground rather than a defensive zone. While his 50% duel success rate suggests a coin-flip reliability, the underlying data reveals a player far more influential than a simple "stay-at-home" center-back. He operates with a pressing intensity that ranks in the league’s top 10%, hunting ball-carriers and ranking in the top 20% for tackles won. This aggression is backed by surprisingly progressive distribution; his 4.72 passes into the final third per 90 indicate he isn’t just winning the ball, he’s launching the counter. However, the counterintuitive reality is that despite his 1.83 aerials won per 90, he remains aerially vulnerable against physical target men, winning only half of his headed duels. He is a high-risk, high-reward asset whose lack of creative "key passes" shows he is a builder, not a playmaker. He belongs in a high-pressing, mid-block system that values front-footed interceptions over deep-sitting positional discipline.
