Scouting Report & Player Insights

A physically imposing, versatile midfield profile who combines strength, high work-rate and aerial presence with pragmatic passing and pressing. Suited to box-to-box or deeper central roles where his ball-retention, ability to disrupt opposition play and link-up qualities are useful. Technical and creative output is competent but the standout attributes are athleticism, defensive contribution and willingness to press.
