Scouting Report & Player Insights

Rangy ball-winner who covers ground with long strides and imposes himself in duels. Prefers to keep possession secure with simple passes, but can drive through lines when space opens. Offers tactical flexibility as a screening midfielder or on the back line, thriving in physical battles and transition moments.

Has been used as an emergency centre-back in high-pressure matches, underlining his positional versatility.

Often likened to long-limbed, stride-heavy midfield destroyers, a comparison reflected in how he defends and carries the ball.
