Beñat Gerenabarrena

Decent short burst for a compact midfielder of 1.73 m. (conf 0.35)

No standout pace; relies on energy rather than speed. (conf 0.35)

Low centre of gravity helps him turn in tight midfield spaces. (conf 0.35)

Energy is a stated strength and he covered ground at Castellon. (conf 0.35)

Tidy control fits the demands of a midfield pivot at this level. (conf 0.35)

Short carries to escape pressure, not a primary dribbler. (conf 0.35)

Compact frame, holds the ball adequately but is not a big presence. (conf 0.35)

Unremarkable striking from range, not a feature of his game. (conf 0.35)

Neat, safe short passing typical of Athletic's midfield school. (conf 0.35)

Range of passing is adequate but not a major weapon. (conf 0.35)

Rarely a crossing source from a central midfield role. (conf 0.3)

Sees simple options well, limited evidence of creative range. (conf 0.35)

Few goals expected from a midfield role of this type. (conf 0.3)

Sensible, rarely forces shots from distance. (conf 0.35)

Supports play but is not a frequent runner beyond the ball. (conf 0.35)

No known threat from dead-ball or long-range situations. (conf 0.3)

Small for aerial duels at 1.73 m, mostly avoids them. (conf 0.35)

Combative in the middle, gets stuck in with grit as described. (conf 0.35)

Presses and harries consistently, matching Athletic's style. (conf 0.35)

Wins loose balls and breaks up play in front of the defence. (conf 0.35)

Holds his zone reasonably but still learning at top-flight pace. (conf 0.35)

Debuted in LaLiga calmly but only a handful of senior minutes. (conf 0.35)

Plays simply and sensibly, limited top-level sample to judge. (conf 0.35)

Grit and energy are his calling cards in and out of possession. (conf 0.35)

No injury record found, so a neutral estimate with low confidence. (conf 0.25)

Early-twenties with a loan season behind him, room to grow. (conf 0.35)

Little profile beyond Athletic's academy and a first LaLiga game. (conf 0.35)
