Scouting Report & Player Insights

A high-pace, direct winger who stretches defenses with rapid dribbles and well-timed forward runs. Brings intense pressing and work-rate, relying on speed and movement to create chances rather than physical dominance; the finishing and decision-making can be inconsistent but the player offers a consistent threat in transition.

Often changes the tempo of attacks through long, explosive counter-attacking runs that pull defenses out of shape.

Has been deployed on either flank and occasionally in more advanced roles, underlining his versatility driven by pace rather than physicality.
