Scouting Report & Player Insights

A versatile left-footed defender capable of playing centrally or out wide. Combines exceptional pace for a centre-back with confident ball-carrying and progressive passing. Strong in 1v1 defending and aerial duels, he couples physical tools with composure on the ball and a high work rate, while decision-making still shows room for refinement as he develops.

Noted for recovery sprints that frequently nullify counter-attacks, thanks to uncommon top speed for a defender.

Regularly steps into midfield to carry possession forward, functioning as a connector between defence and attack.
