67.7% passing accuracy: A look at the 28-year-old wanted by Preston North End, Rotherham and Portsmouth

Cole Stockton has had a brilliant season with Morecambe this year contributing 22 goals and four assists in 40 league appearances so far.

His impressive form has led to interest from other teams such as Preston, Rotherham and Portsmouth.

With Morecambe currently only safe from relegation on goal difference and the player’s contract expiring at the end of the season, a summer move for the player is looking increasingly likely.

With that in mind, we’ve decided to take a look at Stockton’s stats for the season using Wyscout to see what he can offer to the linked sides.

Goals

From the number of goals Stockton has achieved this season, it’s clear to see he has the ability to score.

His average for expected goals in the league this season is 0.4 per game which is a good rate for the 28-year-old.

In terms of his shots on target, his average for the season is surprisingly only 44.9%.

This isn’t a bad rate as nearly half of his shots are on target but it does suggest there is further room for him to develop his game which may come as he plays alongside a higher quality of player.

All three of the potential clubs interested in Stockton have at least one striker who has contributed over ten goals this season so if he was to pair up with one of these strikers, it would provide whichever team he goes to with a lot of strength up front.

Contributions to goals

Stockton has a passing accuracy of 67.7% for the season showing his reliability to play in the side with.

His successful dribbles average at 42.7% for the season but this is something he may need to improve.

As it stands, the second top scorer at Morecambe has only seven goals this season putting Stockton 18 goals clear suggesting his role is very much to be in the right places
