Scouting Report & Player Insights
Jesús Medina is a Paraguayan attacking midfielder/winger known for his dribbling ability and industrious two-way play, traits he built up over several seasons with New York City FC in MLS before moving to the Saudi Pro League with Damac. He operates best cutting inside from wide areas, combining quick feet with intelligent off-ball movement to link the midfield and attack. At Damac he is used as an advanced creative outlet, though he is not the focal point of the team's attack. His game is built more on tenacity and technical quality in tight spaces than on physical dominance.
Spent several seasons with New York City FC in MLS earlier in his career.
Has represented the Paraguay national team.
