Playing Style Analysis

A Active Full-Back. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, a capable chance creator (1.2 key passes/90), a reliable supplier (0.16 assists/90), active in the tackle (2.4 tackles/90) and active off the ball (2.3 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions. The three most similar players to Kaiki by playing style are:

• Marco Palestra(86% match) — A Active Full-Back. Statistically, he stands out as a dynamic dribbler (2.1/90), wins the physical battle (61% duel success) and draws fouls effectively (3.2/90).
• Sascha Britschgi(86% match) — A Active Full-Back.
• Pierre Kalulu(85% match) — Kalulu has quietly become one of Serie A's most progressive defenders — a ball-carrier in disguise wearing a centre-back's number. His 60.8 passes per 90 and 6.23 passes into the final third both land in the top 20-30% of defenders in the league, figures that reveal a player comfortable initiating attacks rather than simply recycling possession. His key passes per 90 (top 20%) are genuinely remarkable for a defender — higher than many midfielders — suggesting his influence on the final third is being systematically undervalued by clubs still scanning only defensive metrics.
