Target Man
A Target Man. Statistically, he stands out as a regular goalscorer (0.31 goals/90) and strong in aerial duels (3.3 aerials won/90). The three most similar players to Tom Cannon by playing style are:
- Tolu Arokodare(85% match) — A Target Man. Statistically, he stands out as a constant goal threat (3.0 shots/90), a regular goalscorer (0.20 goals/90) and strong in aerial duels (6.3 aerials won/90). However, he loses possession under pressure (1.6 dispossessed/90).
- Armando Broja(85% match) — A Target Man. Statistically, he stands out as strong in aerial duels (3.7 aerials won/90). However, he loses possession under pressure (2.1 dispossessed/90).
- Enes Ünal(84% match) — Ünal is the kind of striker Premier League defenders quietly dread—a physical menace in the air who backs it up with real end product. His aerial win rate sits in the top 5% of forwards in this division, and crucially, those duels are translating: 5.68 aerials won per 90 is not a volume stat, it's dominance. His goals and assists numbers place him comfortably in the top 20% and top 10% respectively, which is the counterintuitive truth here—a player often dismissed as a target-man throwback is actually contributing to chance creation at an elite rate.
