Scouting Report & Player Insights
Borna Sosa is a Croatian left-back best known for his powerful left foot, whipped crosses, and dangerous set-piece delivery, traits he showcased during his time at Stuttgart before moves to Ajax and the Premier League. He is more of an attacking outlet than a defensive stalwart, often pushing forward to overlap and provide width. Now with Crystal Palace, he offers depth and an attacking option at left-back in a competitive Premier League squad. His game remains built around service into the box rather than one-on-one defending.
Made his name at VfB Stuttgart as an attacking left-back renowned for set-piece deliveries.
Capped by Croatia and part of their squad pool during recent international cycles.
Moved to Ajax before later transferring into the Premier League.
