Summary

VERDICT: RARE PROFILE (UNICORN)

Yacqub Finey is a scout's dream because of his **unique physical profile**. It is rare to find a 190cm player with such **delicate feet and dribbling ability**. He can play as a 'false target man' or an inverted winger. If he adds more physical dominance to his game, he will be unstoppable at a higher level.
