Given the relative difficulty level in Scotland\u2019s top tier is arguably slightly lower than the <a href=\"https:\/\/eflanalysis.com\/tag\/championship\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Championship<\/a>, the young winger will surely relish topping up that tally in 2025\/26.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, Gassama clocked an xG of just 6.0 last season, so he outperformed his expectation levels in that regard. He also registered 3.03 shot-creating actions per 90, which suggests he will be carving out plenty of opportunities in the coming campaign.<\/p>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Statistics<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Djeidi Gassama in 2024\/25<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Games<\/td>\n<td>47<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Goals<\/td>\n<td>8<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Assists<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>xG<\/td>\n<td>6.0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Shot-creating actions\/90<\/td>\n<td>3.03<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<p>Data via <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/bbdb2789\/all_comps\/Djeidi-Gassama-Stats---All-Competitions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FBRef<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Owls legend <a href=\"https:\/\/eflanalysis.com\/news\/barry-bannan-sends-frustrated-warning-to-rangers-after-djeidi-gassamas-sheffield-wednesday-exit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Barry Bannan did warn Rangers they may be frustrated<\/a> by Gassama, insisting patience will be required.
