Finding players before the market does. Data-driven scouting across 80+ leagues. Visual reports used by clubs and analysts. 🔎
Carlos Espí is a striker playing for Levante in Spain’s Segunda Division - generally high output in most relevant areas and crucially covers a “balanced forward” role which shows flexibility.
A player that has been standing out like a sore thumb in the data for the last year or so is Noa Williams (23, 🇸🇪) of #Kongsvinger in the Norwegian OBOS-ligaen 🇳🇴 A player that belongs on a bigger stage than the Norwegian Second Division, Williams is a tricky wide player who is so easy on the eye. It’s very rare that a player stands out as much as this guy when looking through the data - compared below with all forwards in comparable leagues ⬇️
Keeping a really close eye on forward Ichem Ferrah (20, 🇫🇷) at Cambuur in Eerste Divisie in Netherlands, whilst on loan from Lille. p/90: ⚡ Progressive runs: 6.03 🎯 Progressive passes: 6.22 🔑 Key passes: 0.81 📊 xA: 0.14 Carries the ball through lines and finds teammates in dangerous areas. Constant forward threat.
🚨 🇸🇪 #Wolves are reportedly monitoring BK Häcken midfielder Silas Andersen (21), with the player being looked at as a potential signing this summer. #WWFC Despite the player recently signing a new deal, it’s said a sale this summer is still possible, with a number of clubs interested. It’s said that Häcken would require a record sale to sanction a deal (currently around €7.25m). 📰 @sportbladet

Today is my last day at Opta. It's been an amazing 8 years and I'm very grateful for all the people I met and the cool work I got to do over the years. Next month, I'll be joining the data science team at Como 1907 — I'm very excited and can't wait to get started!
Brighton goalkeeper Jason Steele is a surprise inclusion in the England squad for the friendlies against Uruguay and Japan. The 35-year-old has never played senior football for his country but did represent Great Britain at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Steele has not made a Premier League appearance this season. 📝 @David_Ornstein bit.ly/4bTbtwl
Montoro is absolutely destined for the top - playing at that level at 18 having just arrived in a new country. Ponte also an interesting one - strikes me as an old school right full-back, gets up the pitch as quickly as he gets back down it.
🚨 BREAKING: Said El Mala & Malek El Mala to Brighton is almost a done deal! Both brothers want the move and have agreed personal terms. €35 million + bonuses, and a sell-on clause for Said. Malek will join the U21s. [@SPORTBILD] #bhafc
