Scouting Report & Player Insights

Attack-minded left-back who thrives on early, whipped deliveries from wide and the half-space. Uses stride length and timing to overlap, with a left foot capable of shaping dangerous balls into the corridor. Best when given license to push high, combine, and feed runners, while defensive value is steadier than standout and can be stretched by rapid transitions behind him.

Once attempted to change international eligibility on heritage grounds but ultimately continued with Croatia.

Has produced multiple-assist performances built on relentless, high-quality crossing from the left.
