A year ago, AIK signed Jimmy Durmaz and expectations were high for the midfielder. But the veteran didn’t quite get it right, was criticized and playing time in the previous season was scarce. Now the parties have agreed to break the contract and Durmaz looks set to end up in the Genclerbirligi.
Was Jimmy Durmaz a flop at AIK? Playmaker AI’s Ola Lidmark Eriksson disagrees against the background of what the statistics from the 2023 season show.
– The actual numbers say that he is well above average in terms of dribbling and passing for offensive players, he says in Fotbollslabbet and continues:
– In terms of progressive transportation, how much you push the ball forward in the field, he was one of the best in the Allsvenskan. Same thing with ball receptions per game. Some other outstanding players in ball receptions are Taha Ali, Samuel Gustafson and Sergio Pena. They are good players. I still want to draw a lance because there were things in Jimmy Durmaz’s game that were really good.
