Eddie Nketiah has made the second-highest percentage of backward passes this season for top strikers in Europe, a recent release by the CIES Football Observatory showed. 

Using their statistical model, the CIES Football Observatory, based in Switzerland, revealed that Nketiah has made 41.3% of his passes backwards.
