Playing Style Profiles

Federico Chiesa

Chiesa arrives in England carrying the ghost of a player everyone remembers but few have actually seen recently—and these early numbers suggest the real version might be more interesting than the myth. His assists rate lands in the top 5% of Premier League attackers, yet the more revealing figure is his passes into the final third, also top 5%, which exposes how much of his value is created before the final moment rather than in it.
