Scouting Report & Player Insights

Slaloming winger who manipulates tempo and angles to unbalance full-backs. Uses a sharp first step, tight control and feints to attack the byline or cut inside, preferring carries and cut-backs over early crosses. Combines well in tight spaces, presses with energy, and shows calm execution in crowded penalty areas.

Wrote an academic thesis on dribbling mechanics during his university studies.

Chose the university pathway to refine technique before turning professional.
