A composed deep-lying midfielder whose strengths are range of passing, positional discipline and the ability to dictate tempo. Prefers to recycle possession, progress the ball through measured passes and shield the back line rather than relying on individual dribbling or goal-scoring.
Noted for calming possession in congested midfields, often chosen to restart play under pressure.
Has a reputation among coaches for reliability in maintaining structure and rhythm from a holding midfield role.
