No roster-based suggestions yet.
Left-footed, ball-playing centre-back with the versatility to operate wider when needed. Combines calmness on the ball and a broad passing range with dependable positioning and the ability to step into midfield to progress attacks. Not the quickest defender but compensates with reading of the game and composure.
Often initiates attacks from deep with accurate long diagonals that switch play quickly.
Noted for maintaining composure under intense pressing, frequently choosing measured passes over risky clearances.
