About Paddy Lane
Paddy Lane is a versatile winger, but his current form suggests he struggles to make a significant impact in the Championship. With a Sofascore rating placing him in the bottom 6% of his peers, he hasn't showcased standout qualities this season. While he remains durable and reliable, with no games missed in the last three seasons, his lack of successful dribbles and touches indicates a need for improvement to elevate his contributions on the pitch.
Availability: no injuries recorded in the last 3 seasons.
