Playing Style Analysis

Active Full-Back

A Active Full-Back. Statistically, he stands out as active in the tackle (2.1 tackles/90), wins the physical battle (55% duel success) and a high-intensity presser (press score 3.2/90), constantly disrupting opposition build-up. The three most similar players to Arthur Zagré by playing style are:

  • Jordan Lotomba(86% match)Lotomba is the kind of full-back who quietly does enough in five different departments without fully owning any of them—a profile that sounds damning until you look at the league context. His 88.5% pass accuracy lands in the top 30% of Eredivisie defenders, and his assist rate per 90 sits in the top 20%, suggesting a genuine threat in transition despite a dribble count that also cracks that same elite bracket. Here's the counterintuitive part: his suspiciously low passes-per-90 figure—bottom 10% in the league—likely reflects positional role and game state rather than technical limitation, given how clean his accuracy numbers are when he does receive.
  • Anass Salah-Eddine(86% match)A Active Full-Back. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, active in the tackle (2.4 tackles/90), meticulous in distribution (90% pass accuracy), wins the physical battle (62% duel success), wins the ball cleanly (1.8 successful tackles/90), central to possession (73 touches/90) and active off the ball (3.0 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
  • Gijs Smal(85% match)A Active Full-Back. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, an elite creator (1.6 key passes/90), active in the tackle (2.2 tackles/90), wins the physical battle (68% duel success), penetrates with forward passing (10.4 final-third passes/90), central to possession (76 touches/90) and active off the ball (2.4 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions. Note: this profile is based on 845 minutes of playing time this season.
