📊🇯🇵 Keisuke Goto, data report + physical specimen, the kind that is trending to be prepared for the rigors of the Premier League; 6'3" (191 cm), and attempts/wins aerials at a fantastic rate for his age + high defensive work rate + used primarily (an is quite proficient) as a "f it, Keisuke down there somewhere" long ball outlet + finds insanely high quality shots despite 'limited service' in the form of shot/attacking penalty area touch volume - despite electric shot quality, his shot on target rate this season has been relatively abysmal, also worth noting he's managed just 6.71 xGOT on 10.34 xG from 40 shots this season... just far too early to make any assertions on his finishing ability long term, but something to monitor - definitely more of a poacher at this point (or at least used as one) considering shots per danger area touch, low xA and general creative output ➡️ Filter by aerial duels and npxG considering age and he'll be at the top of most lists. To be fully transparent, I haven't watched a second of him this season, so this is purely a data read... if I'm wrong about things or further context is needed, please let me know. The recent reports make sense that many mid-level PL clubs are tracking him... everyone wants power forwards for strikers, and w/ the recent data point of Igor Thiago probably over-indexed in decision maker's minds, he'll be an appealing prospect to keep on shortlists for the coming year or so.
