M’Baye Niang is one among many refreshing young players who point towards an exciting future for AC Milan. The 21-year-old is a regular in the starting lineup, and his talent is obvious for all to see. However, he is also dogged by a persistent issue in the final third.
As a forward, scoring and creating goals is generally considered to be a necessity. But the Frenchman has not made a habit of doing either.
In 12 Serie A outings this season he has scored just three times, assisting twice for team-mates. Along the way, he has skewed shots wide and missed opportunities, only furthering the notion that he is ultimately inefficient when it comes to making and taking chances.
