Playing Style Analysis

Cornet arrives in Serie A wearing the skin of a forward but playing the game of a playmaker—and the numbers expose that contradiction beautifully. His 2.79 key passes per 90 and 0.70 assists per 90 both sit in the top 5% among attackers in the league, figures that belong to a creative midfielder, not a wide forward.
