Huddersfield Town’s new signing Tino Anjorin: What do the stays say? What’s he good at? What could he improve?

Huddersfield Town excitement is building over new signing Tino Anjorin, and rightly so. 

The attacking midfielder is a player with so much potential, arriving from one of the best academy systems in the country at Chelsea.

Carlos Corberan’s side sit seventh in the Championship table right now and are in a promotion hunt. Adding a player with Anjorin’s profile heightens the chance of them maintaining that.

In 35 games, it’s 16 goals and 14 assists for the attacking midfielder, which is an incredible figure given he isn’t a forward that leads the line.

There has also been a goal in the Europa League during a loan with Lokomotiv Moscow, which was brought to a premature end due to an injury Anjorin is still recovering from.

That loan in Russia does tell us more about what Anjorin was able to offer in senior football, rather than U23s.

Wyscout stats explain how Anjorin attempted almost two shots per 90 during his time in Russia (1.65), giving him an average xG (expected goals) of 0.13 every time he played a full game.

The youngster also averages over three passes into the final third and the penalty area from his time with Lokomotiv, underlining his braveness on the ball and eagerness to get his team playing in the right kinds of areas.

2.47 progressive runs also highlight the midfielder’s ability to
