  • Odilon Kossounou(86% match)Kossounou has carved out a rare niche in Serie A's defensive landscape: a centre-back who builds play with the precision of a deep-lying midfielder while quietly contributing to the scoresheet. His 92.7% pass accuracy places him in the top 5% of defenders in the division—not just neat sideways passes, but 5.27 progressive balls into the final third per 90, suggesting genuine intent to break lines.
