I mean that depends on how you want to interpret an assist. If you count the player who gives the ball to the goalscorer then Keita has 3 assists, but as you mentioned it doesn't really matter.
And who said I like stats that much? I simply provided the amount goals and assists per player, because some stats are more important than others for every single position, that is at least my opinion
.
Politano being better in all the other categories doesn't really surprise me, it shows that he is a more developed as a player, as he should be, hence being 2 years older.
My point is how ineffective Politano actually is. Keita has been involved in more goals than him, despite only being played for half the amount of minutes (in Serie A), and I guarantee you I am in no way a Keita fanboy.
The most important thing is for Inter to succeed and I am not convinced that Politano can contribute as much as we need him to. He is good enough for this season, sure. But if we want to progress as a club every season, then Politano might not be the right guy for the wing, to me he is just way to average and I think he has already reached his ceiling, or is at least very close to it.
