Tammy Abraham has left Chelsea yesterday for a fee of around €40m to join Mourinho’s AS Roma.

The English 23 year old and #9 attracted heavy interest from clubs such as Atalanta and Arsenal.

I decided to do a scout report on him with the use of video in conjunction with data.

@pranav_m28 great, sent :)

[Guy Kaye @GuyKaye2]

@pranav_m28 Oh sorry - somehow missed this!
I think game state might still need to be a regularized variable as think it’s over inflating it - despite the research that you showed. I asked Chat gpt as I was curious about it, so happy to share what it said privately?

[Guy Kaye @GuyKaye2]

@pranav_m28 overstated and biased. Noticed big difference between the 0.948 and 0.581 chance with almost identical situations but one with losing and winning in 60th min. Don’t have as much experience building an xG model but did you add features like distance and angle to goal? Might help?

[Guy Kaye @GuyKaye2]

@pranav_m28 This is excellent work! Can imagine this took a lot of effort to clean and prep all of the data. Great that you are able to demonstrate this into a nice, friendly and easy to use tool. Side note + requires more data collection/altering - but think the game state affect is ….

[Guy Kaye @GuyKaye2]

@nonewthing No idea of the ins and outs of the decision making process at Chelsea but worth noting the impressive @JaviOnData hire in Feb’ 25. Perhaps a more cohesive environment with Winstanley and Stewart.

@B03GHB4L1 Great video - can I shoot you a DM please? :)

Exclusive Breaking News: FC Bayern has withdrawn its offer for a new contract for Joshua Kimmich (30) @BILD_Sport @altobelli13

[Guy Kaye @GuyKaye2]

If Zubimendi isn't secured, Arsenal and Arteta should be in Kimmich's ear every day to convince him to join on a free next summer.

[Guy Kaye @GuyKaye2]

@CarlonCarpenter Respectfully, massively disagree

[Guy Kaye @GuyKaye2]

@TheTransferFlow Certainly does. The Merino links indicate we could be looking for this type of player. Worth a shot asking how Ruiz’s (my player of the tournament) radar looks like?

[Guy Kaye @GuyKaye2]

@TheTransferFlow He was very high on my list for Xhaka replacements a while back from his days at Napoli. Stylistically very similar, but feel he’s naturally even better in tight areas high up the pitch and more of a natural goal threat. Extremely intelligent player on and off the ball.

[Guy Kaye @GuyKaye2]

@TheTransferFlow Fabián Ruiz?

[THREAD] What is the most valued position in Football⁉️

This is a difficult question to answer as every club will have different needs and wants based on the profile of their squad. There is also no shortage of players, with hundreds of thousands playing professionally.

📈📊🔎 My data driven piece answering which position in Football is most valued

Based on 6 seasons of transfer incomings into Europe's Top 5 Leagues, the CF position was the most expensive, with the GK being the least.

Attackers generally cost more than defenders except in 🇩🇪

Any feedback, comments, questions are greatly appreciated!
