Scouting Report & Player Insights
Arthur Masuaku is a flair-driven left-back known for his trickery, close control, and audacious crossing, including his signature no-look and rabona deliveries developed during his years at West Ham United. After a spell at Besiktas, he returned to English football with Sunderland following their promotion to the Premier League. Now in his early thirties, he offers experience, attacking creativity down the flank, and set-piece delivery, though his defensive positioning and physical output have never been the strongest part of his game.
Became a fan favorite at West Ham for his flamboyant rabona crosses and flicks.
Spent time on loan at and later signed for Besiktas in Turkey before returning to England.
