Form:
Tough 18 months since leaving Elfsborg, if Thelin can help him find his previous form, he could be a big player for Aberdeen in the second half of the season (and longer with option to buy), but it could take time with not having much football as of late.
January 6, 2025 at 3:21 PM
Not necessarily a weakness, but Progressive passes: (3.79), below average. This shows he’s not the one to receive deep and play a splitting pass. He’s the one wanting to get on the end of things and make things happen in the final third. Take that how you want.
January 6, 2025 at 3:21 PM
Weaknesses:.

Tackles & Defensive Actions (4.72adjusted per 90): Below-average contribution to defensive actions, is a surprise considering Thelin wingers should acrually be winning the ball
January 6, 2025 at 3:21 PM
Physical:
Strong in the air, 38.89% pits him in the excellent category, and this is a boost for Aberdeen who are a bit weak in this regard.
Fast and powerful runner, long strides but also the ability to shrug a defender off.
January 6, 2025 at 3:21 PM
Short & Medium Pass 88.67% Excellent passing accuracy in short and medium-range passes, indicating strong link-up play and ball retention.
January 6, 2025 at 3:21 PM
Passing:
Per 90mins Numbers regarding final ball are superb.
1.49 shot assists
0.37 assists
0.31 xA
All above average for the league. This shows he’s calm in the final third, can pick the correct option with the correct weight. 30.16% cross completion is average, not a weak.
January 6, 2025 at 3:21 PM
Strengths
Dribbling: Success rate of 58.95%. Above-average ability to beat opponents in one-on-one dribbling situations

Progressive Carries (3.92) Shows effectiveness in ball carrying Especially effective in attacking transitions. Ability to go both ways = unpredictable.
January 6, 2025 at 3:21 PM
6ft, tall for a winger, but he’s not slow. Will look consistently to test that back line and get in behind. Comparison wise a player I see similarities, Funnily, hugely similar to N.Kühn when at Rapid Wien, Can also see Hudson-Odoi / Kuluveski build / movement.
January 6, 2025 at 3:21 PM
11Goals and 6 assists in 30 games.
18 games on the left
16 games on the right

Capable of playing both sides, comfortable with both feet, unpredictable in the sense he can drift inside or beating his man on the outside.

Difficult to take much from his time at Utrecht as he only made 5 appearances before being sold to Preston for more than double what Utrecht paid. Due to this, we’re going to have to base this off his 2022 season at Elfsborg… under Jimmy Thelin 😏
January 6, 2025 at 3:21 PM
A strange 18 months for Jepp Okkels since leaving Elfsborg.
Sold to Utrecht for 700k, then 8months later to Preston for 2mil.

Preston don’t use traditional wingers, this signing never made sense. Currently play 3-4-2-1.

Loan with option to buy, suits all parties.

Scout Report:
Reginaldo Ramires de Oliveira Albertino

•Position: Striker / CF
•Age: 23
•Height: 1.78m
•Nationality: 🇧🇷 Brazil
•Club: Riga FC
•Market Value: €700k

Cvetković’s combination of technique, movement, and work rate make him an ideal fit for possession-based systems that emphasises high pressing and off-ball intelligence. His ability to receive progressive passes and execute sharp combinations is well-suited to modern forward role
January 4, 2025 at 8:00 PM
3. Creativity
Ability to create chances is less developed. His Expected Assists (0.04) and Goal-Creating Actions (3.59) rankings indicate that he rarely provides quality final balls. Improving his vision and execution in the final third will help round out his attacking profile.
January 4, 2025 at 8:00 PM
2. Finishing
Cvetković’s finishing needs work. Missing 8 big chances this season, his composure in front of goal is a work in progress. An average Goals/Shot on Target (0.41) highlights the need for better conversion, but his youth and scoring record suggest improvement with time
January 4, 2025 at 8:00 PM
Weaknesses
1. Aerial
Cvetković struggles in aerial duels, ranking poorly in Aerial Win % (23.91). This stems from a combination of his height (1.75m) and poor body positioning. Developing greater anticipation and strength in aerial challenges would improve his effectiveness
January 4, 2025 at 8:00 PM
4. Positioning
Cvetković shows an instinctive ability to get into high-quality positions, as reflected by his npxG per 90 (0.42) and npxG per shot (0.19) percentiles. Highlights intelligence in anticipating opportunities and efficient shots, even if finishing requires polishing.
January 4, 2025 at 8:00 PM
3. Technical
Cvetković is equally adept with both feet, allowing him to operate unpredictably in tight spaces and adjust quickly in shooting or passing situations. His strong Short & Medium Pass Completion (78.48) further emphasises his technical reliability in combination play.
January 4, 2025 at 8:00 PM
Out of possession, he is relentless in his defensive work, pressing defenders aggressively, as reflected in his above-average Defensive Actions per 90 (21.31) percentile. This intensity and tactical awareness make him a valuable asset in systems reliant on high pressing.
January 4, 2025 at 8:00 PM
2. Movement
Off-the-ball movement is where Cvetković really impresses. In possession, he makes purposeful runs in behind defenders, into the channels, or short to feet, creating constant dilemmas for the opposition.
January 4, 2025 at 8:00 PM
Progressive Passes Received (77.78) and Smart Passes (60.00) percentiles underline his effectiveness in linking up play in advanced areas. His touch is assured, and excellent awareness to create separation from defenders, drawing fouls and maintaining possession in tight spaces.
