Kenan YıldızLeft-sided goal-threat creator
My read: Kenan Yıldız is a left-sided goal-threat creator. He gets to his shots regularly and supplies a steady stream of passes that become shots. His shot volume is 3.07 per 90 (80th percentile); chance-creation volume is 2.41 per 90 (97th percentile) among comparable wide players. The threat is clear. I still want to see the counter when the first take-on is denied and how reliably the output survives tighter marking.
01 · Role interpretation
What the published evidence says
The quieter plus is successful take-on volume at 2.47 per 90 in the 85th percentile, evidence that he completes take-ons at high volume. What the numbers cannot settle is his movement away from the ball and response when a full-back takes away the first lane.
This is a statistical role read, not a claim about fixed position or ceiling. The interpretation is limited to the labelled performance sample and is adjusted for the job the player currently performs.

03 · Questions for film
Where the evidence stops
- What is his counter when the first one-versus-one route is taken away?
- Does his off-ball movement create value before he receives?
- How reliably does he recover into the team’s defensive structure?
04 · Current verdict
Strong enough to investigate. Not complete enough to pretend.
Kenan Yıldız is #11 on the current global board with a strong evidence grade. The score identifies comparative signal; it does not publish a ceiling, tactical-fit guarantee or transfer recommendation. Those conclusions require repeated human observation and comparable future releases.
