Best Alternatives to Ghislain Konan

Playing Style Analysis

A Solid Defender. Statistically, he stands out as active off the ball (2.8 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions. The three closest DNA matches to Ghislain Konan:

• Nuno Santos(85% match) — Santos is the rare defender who creates more danger than most attackers in Liga Portugal—his 3.07 key passes per 90 and 2.05 shots per 90 both land in the top 5% of all defenders in the division, numbers that belong on a winger's profile, not a backline one. His 100% duel win rate sounds like a small-sample anomaly—and with only 352 minutes, it partly is—but his 90.9% pass accuracy suggests genuine technical quality rather than a player simply avoiding contact.
• Leonardo Lelo(84% match) — A Active Full-Back. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, an elite creator (1.9 key passes/90), a reliable supplier (0.20 assists/90), central to possession (78 touches/90) and active off the ball (2.2 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
• Sikou Niakaté(84% match) — Niakaté is the rare defender who looks more dangerous with the ball at his feet than without it—a profile that makes him genuinely interesting and genuinely complicated. Operating in Liga Portugal, he sits in the top 5% for passes per 90, an extraordinary volume for a defender, and his delivery into the final third ranks among the league's best at his position.
