Scouting Report & Player Insights
Yerry Mina is a towering Colombian centre-back now playing for Cagliari in Serie A after spells at Barcelona and Everton. Standing well over six feet, he remains most dangerous in the air at both ends of the pitch, a trait immortalised by his headed goals at the 2018 World Cup. His career has been shaped as much by recurring injuries and inconsistent form as by his physical dominance, and at Cagliari he is looked to as an experienced, combative presence at the back rather than a mobile ball-player.
Scored crucial headed goals for Colombia at the 2018 World Cup, including against England in the round of 16.
Signed by Barcelona from Palmeiras before moving to Everton, where he became a regular for several seasons.
Known for his imposing height and aerial threat on set pieces at both ends of the pitch.
