Best Alternatives to Anass Zaroury

Playing Style Analysis

Zaroury is the rare attacking profile who wins games with his brain before his boots ever touch the ball. Operating in the Super League, he ranks in the top 5% for both ground duel success and passes into the final third—a combination that tells you he's not just technically tidy but genuinely difficult to dispossess in tight spaces. His 3.92 progressive passes per 90 is the real headline: this is a forward who consistently unlocks defences rather than waiting to be unlocked by teammates. The three closest DNA matches to Anass Zaroury:

• Osame Sahraoui(84% match) — A Dynamic Forward. Statistically, he stands out as an elite creator (1.9 key passes/90), a prolific assist provider (0.37 assists/90), a dynamic dribbler (2.4/90), central to possession (75 touches/90) and draws fouls effectively (4.5/90).
• Enes Ünal(84% match) — Ünal is the kind of striker Premier League defenders quietly dread—a physical menace in the air who backs it up with real end product. His aerial win rate sits in the top 5% of forwards in this division, and crucially, those duels are translating: 5.68 aerials won per 90 is not a volume stat, it's dominance.
• Federico Bonazzoli(84% match) — A Complete Forward. Statistically, he stands out as a constant goal threat (2.7 shots/90), a regular goalscorer (0.36 goals/90) and draws fouls effectively (2.9/90).
