THREAD | RAYAN AÏT NOURI
Wolves fans got a decent opportunity to check out potential new signing Rayan Aït Nouri in a 6-1 defeat to PSG last night. Despite the result, there was plenty of praise for left wing-back. Have put together this thread on his performance! #WWFC

Firstly, a small picture of what Aït Nouri offers. It& #39;s a limited sample due to the amount of minutes (broken jaw in January/curtailment of season) BUT evident he is a keen dribbler, not dissimilar to Ruben Vinagre in that respect but is good in the air and pressures well. #WWFC
Last night, he took the third most touches of his team (75) and this was his heat map. As you& #39;d expect he covered the left side pretty well despite the opposition and result, still a key man for his team, especially in possession. #WWFC
One of the first things I noticed about Aït Nouri is he is often in good positions to help his team counter attack. Here are a couple of examples where he is readily available in space. #WWFC
Fans are probably well aware already, but he is very comfortable receiving and playing under pressure! #WWFC
What I also liked about his performance was that rather than trying to whip the ball into the box, he often looked to build his way into the penalty area through a low cross, pass or dribble. Had three key passes in the game. #WWFC
Where can he improve? He did get caught pressing too early once but PSG didn& #39;t take advantage. A couple of examples afterwards showing he had learnt his lesson however. #WWFC
Finally, what he may need work on most is his awareness of players running behind or outside of him. One of the goals came as a result of this and PSG came close on two other occasions too. #WWFC
