Scout report: Philip Zinckernagel

and why I think he would be a fantastic (and achievable) signing for #dcfc
Phillip Zinckernagel
25 years old, 🇩🇰
Right footed winger
Club: Bodø/Glimt (🇳🇴1st div)
Height: 1.75m

Market value: ÂŁ585k (transfermarkt)
Contract expires: 31/12/20
Zinckernagel is a goalscoring winger who has shown real ability with both feet so you’d feel comfortable playing him on either flank. He shows a willingness for take-ons and a good burst of pace especially at a short distance.
He has a nack for finding himself in goalscoring positions within the area and performs well with targeting passes within 20 metres of the opponent’s goal (deep completions). See here how when playing on the counter, he drives forward to find himself the space to score

He’s excellent at using his flair to create space for his team mates, allowing him to rack up the assists and create a lot of big chances

Another goal within the area, created with close control and a weak footed finish
Bodø/Glimt currently sit top of Eliteserien after 9 games, winning all 9. So far, Zinckernagel has 7 goals and 8 assists (div’s highest G/A). His xG/A of 9.78 is also the division’s highest. Remarkable numbers (Worth noting 3 of his goals have been penalties)
Zinckernagel averages 1.8 key passes per90, also the division’s highest. Unsurprising when outlined by this clip
When it comes to areas of improvement, I’d like to see his ball progression improve with the ball at his feet, but he does have excellent close control, as shown here, alongside his finishing ability with his weaker foot- great dexterity
With his contract expiring at the end of the year (31/12/20), his market value is expected to be around £500k, so it’s certainly a realistic idea for #dcfc, and would be a brilliant addition to a much lacking winger department
