Lorenzo Pellegrini, a scout report:
Player Info:
Club-Roma
Age-24
Positions-Roaming centre mid (8) behind the striker (10) can also play in a pivot next to a deep lying playmaker
Stats this season:
Pellegrini has managed an xG of 4.0 and an xA of 8.4. He has managed 1 goal and 9 assits this season showing he is creating high quality chances but not been great finishing wise.

He makes an average of 2.5 key passes and 20 big chances p90 (league + europa)
He’s been pushed out to the right towards the back end of the season however due to a change of system.

Moving him from an 8 role into a wide 10 role harmed his performances slightly and saw a lack of assits after lockdown (only recording 1).
He only completed 25 dribbles this season with a 54% completion rate p90 which equates to 0.9.

This isn’t too impressive however he did make 983 carries and had a progressive distance of 4513 meters this season. This means he progressed the ball 192 meters p90 this season.
Those stats are similar to some of the best at progression in the league like Kovacic and Grealish which is extremely good.

With this he also made 101 final 3rd passes this season which was 4.33 p90. These are really good numbers and show he brings end product.
Unfortunately aerially he isn’t great winning only 0.7 duels p90 so he’d have to be with someone good in the air.

His pass accuracy is also relatively average at 81% however he is predominantly passing within the oppositions half.

He’s also completed 2.1 long balls p90.
Defensively Pellegrini is also good. He makes 1.9 tackles and interceptions p90 in the europa league and serie a.

He’s also a good presser with a 25% success rate. He’ll try 5.2 pressures in the final 3rd. This fits artetas system as he is in a playmaker role but will work hard.
I’d rate Lorenzo an 8.5/10
He is clearly an able playmaker creating consistent chances for Roma aswell as a good presser. His ball carrying is also exceptional.

He’d cost 30 million due to his release clause which makes him a very good budget playmaker.
