Liverpool target Ibrahim Mbaye emerged as one of the most compelling subjects discussed by Dave Davis and Dr Phil Barts on the latest Transfer Market Metric podcast for Anfield Index, with pace, progression and work rate featuring prominently in their ***** sment.
Davis immediately made his feelings clear when introducing the 18 year old: "I like this kid." His enthusiasm centred particularly on Mbaye's acceleration, observing how "he will stand up his fullback and just burn him" and describing him as "exciting to watch".
Barts identified an attractive statistical combination in Mbaye's ability to advance possession.
"The beautiful mix he's got is he can progress the football by passing and carrying, right? is 96 percentile for carrying."
He added: "But he's also can pass it 83rd percentile progressively."
