Isaac Lee Scout Report


 

 

Date of birth: 3rd September 2004

Country: South Korea/England

Position: Central Defender

Height: 195cm

Preferred foot: Right

Club: Flint Town United

 

The Welsh league hasn't been blessed in recent years with young talent, but that has changed with the emergence of Isaac Lee. A proper modern day ball playing central defender, turning heads with both his passing and dribbling ability.

It is a little surprising to see him playing in central defence as he is constantly looking for the ball and once he does get it he is both calm and willing to run forward with around 1.1 dribbles per game at a 77% success rate. This is a risky strategy as it can be fantastic when it pays off, with his passes and runs often opening up the opposition's defence, but it can be costly. This is something that needs to be worked on should a move be on the cards, but I can see a player here. 

His passing is certainly a strength of his, and in the modern era, his style of play is a perfect fit for most teams. Completing around 25 passes per game at a 79% success rate, I expect these numbers to skyrocket should Lee make a move to a higher division. His 6ft 4 frame helps him win 3 Aerial duals per game and with a little bit of strength training you can expect both aerial and ground dual numbers to climb upwards. 

A project player is the best way to describe him, with some work on his game needing polished. Working on his strength, tackling and his decision-making will be vital to his development, but should this be fixed there will be a very good player there. A change of position to a central midfield or Central defensive midfield role could be a game changer for Isaac. 

Ideal Club:

Isaac has been linked heavily to EFL clubs such as Cardiff, Crawley and Walsall. These are all a step-up and would be a good move for his development. But a club I think should make a move is newly promoted SPFL side Falkirk. Falkirk play a high level possession based game and I can see Isaac fit in well. Should he perform at a consistent level, a move to an English championship side or higher will certainly be on the cards.

Sho Fukuda Scout Report

Image
  Date of birth: 23rd March 2001 Country: Japan Position: Centre Forward Height: 173cm Preferred foot: Right Club: Shonan Bellmare Shonan have been the surprise package so far in the 2025 J league season, winning all 3 games and sitting top of the league. The football has been direct and one of the main reasons their attacking style of play has worked is due to the phenomenal play of Sho Fukuda. A complete forward build, Fukuda posseses all the traits that tick the boxes of the modern managers of Europe. Quickness, finishing, pressing and the ability to come short to pick the ball up are all on show each time he is on the park. However his biggest strength for me at least is his off the ball movement. Often finding himself wide open in the box is not a coincidence, it is a result of his constant movement, making him a complete nightmare for opposing defenders who are not sure whether to man mark him or guard their box. This makes him both a danger for goals but also assists, due to...

4 Ideal Summer Transfer Targets For Celtic- By Brendan Hunter

Image
  By Brendan Hunter   With the summer transfer window fast approaching, it is only natural to look at potential recruits that are both interesting and realistic. Here are 4 transfer targets Celtic should be looking at this summer if they realistically want to make a run in Europe this forthcoming season.   Target 1: Michael Olunga Position: Striker/Centre Forward The big Kenyan might be a familiar name to those who watch the J league, with him playing for Kashiwa Reysol. He even scored 8 goals in one J league match in 2020.  28 goals in 32 games led to him making a lucrative move to Qatar with Al Duhail. The goals kept coming, and in just 4 and a half seasons he racked up an impressive 130 goals in all competitions. The 31-year-old was recently released and is available for a free. While Celtic will almost certainly struggle to match the salary offered in Qatar, taking a punt on the 6ft 4 striker is a no-brainer. Blessed with height, strength and pace, Olunga is a pl...

Scotland's next manager. 5000 Miles Away

Image
  Scotland's national football team has been on a depressing struggle in recent times. Despite qualifying for 2 consecutive Euro's, the feeling around Steve Clarke has been diminishing in recent months. No competive win in 400 days, one win in 15 games (against Gibraltar) and the general negative style of play has led to many fans to question if Clarke should lead the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers.  But who should be the man to replace him, should the SFA pull the plug on the Clarke-ball tenure. A few names seem to regularly come up, with Kilmarnock's Derek McInnes and David Moyles being the names thrown up by fans, pundits and bookies alike. And whilst there are certainly arguments for and against these potenial new national team managers, there is one man who has yet to appear in the conversation to take over. That man is Japanese coach Toru Oniki. A foreign coach for Scotland? Well that hasn't happened since Berti Vogts, 22 years ago. This of course was a disaster appoin...
