Midfielder · Aarhus · UEFA Champions League
“A box-to-box midfielder with a ruthless eye for goal.”
GoalPost verdict
GoalPost score (GPS)
GoalPost read
Kevin Yakob rates limited as a box-to-box midfielder because he has done his best work in Aarhus, but he now operates in a weaker league and does not hold a locked-in starting place. He is in his prime, but the value stays limited.

Analysis overview
Kevin Yakob plays as a direct two-way midfielder who keeps arriving in dangerous spaces rather than lingering in deep build-up. He carries energy through the middle, then breaks into the box late, where his clean, clinical finishing makes him a real threat once play opens up. The read is limited, but his instinct for the decisive run and the decisive shot gives Iraq a sharp edge from midfield.
