Scouting Report & Player Insights

Jonny (Jonathan Rodriguez Menendez), now with Alaves in LaLiga, is a pacey left back who made his name bombing forward down the flank for Wolves under Nuno Espirito Santo. His game is built around overlapping runs, direct crossing and recovery speed rather than intricate passing or physical dominance. Injuries have interrupted his career at points, tempering his effectiveness compared to his peak Premier League form.

Was a regular starting left wing-back for Wolves during their Premier League return under Nuno Espirito Santo.

Came through Celta Vigo's youth setup before establishing himself in England.
