Complete Forward

Sargent occupies a curious middle ground in the Championship—a striker who wins aerial duels at an above-average clip, holds his own in physical contests, yet somehow never quite announces himself as a dominant force. His 0.32 goals per 90 places him comfortably above the divisional average, but the counterintuitive read here is that his low pass volume isn't laziness—it's positioning discipline, letting him arrive in dangerous areas rather than dropping deep to fetch the ball. His dribble numbers suggest someone willing to carry under pressure, and his aerial presence makes him a genuine option against deep blocks.
