Attributes (grouped)

Mobility

Acceleration78

A useful initial burst helps him engage wide attackers, though detailed recent speed evidence is limited. (conf 0.72)

Top speed82

Strong recovery pace over distance supports a high line and emergency coverage into the channels. (conf 0.72)

Agility72

Turns capably for a tall defender, but rapid on-ball direction changes can look stiff. (conf 0.64)

Stamina81

Twenty-eight full league starts in 2025-26 show dependable endurance across repeated defensive actions. (conf 0.78)

Control

First touch73

Receives securely enough to move play onward, without the softness of an elite build-up defender. (conf 0.64)

Dribbling67

Can carry into vacant space but lacks variety when asked to beat a set opponent. (conf 0.62)

Ball shielding82

A strong frame and balanced stance make him difficult to dislodge once possession is secured. (conf 0.7)

Ball striking63

Generates firm clearances and passes, while evidence of refined shooting technique remains sparse. (conf 0.55)

Distribution

Short passing76

Favours firm, practical circulation and can connect safely through the right side of build-up. (conf 0.72)

Long passing69

Attempts useful lofted releases, but range and execution are less consistent than his short distribution. (conf 0.62)

Crossing58

Right-back experience provides basic delivery, though he usually combines rather than crossing from advanced zones. (conf 0.54)

Vision65

Recognises straightforward progressive options but is not a primary line-breaking creator from deep. (conf 0.58)

Chance threat

Finishing52

Three league goals in 2025-26 show set-piece contribution without establishing broad finishing quality. (conf 0.68)

Shot selection55

Rarely shoots outside set plays and offers too little evidence for an above-average attacking assessment. (conf 0.55)

Off-ball movement72

Provides supporting width at right-back and attacks dead-ball space with purposeful timing. (conf 0.68)

Set-piece shot35

No meaningful evidence identifies him as a direct free-kick or dead-ball shooting option. (conf 0.48)

Duels

Aerial79

Athleticism and timing make him useful in the air, but historical duel results were mixed and recent goal types are incompletely documented. (conf 0.68)

Ground duels84

Strength, aggression and recovery speed make him difficult to bypass in direct physical contests. (conf 0.76)

Defense

Pressing intensity82

Steps out assertively and follows challenges with energetic recovery, especially from the right side. (conf 0.72)

Defensive disruption84

Front-foot interventions and physical tackles regularly halt attacks before they reach the box. (conf 0.78)

Defensive positioning79

Generally protects his channel well, though aggressive stepping can create space behind him. (conf 0.72)

Mental

Composure74

Usually handles routine build-up calmly but can rush execution when pressed into a difficult option. (conf 0.68)

Decision making75

Reads many duels early, while occasional overcommitment keeps his risk management below the top tier. (conf 0.67)

Work rate84

Sustains energetic coverage, physical contests and set-piece involvement through full matches. (conf 0.78)

Resilience

Injury reliability83

Back-to-back seasons of 26 and 28 league starts provide strong recent durability evidence. (conf 0.8)

Outlook

Potential83

Entering his prime with established physical tools, he retains scope to refine positioning and distribution. (conf 0.72)

Reputation76

Regular European competition, domestic trophies and two Saudi seasons support solid recognition below elite status. (conf 0.78)

Scouting Report & Player Insights

He attacks aerial balls, steps out to challenge and can carry into space, while generally favouring firm, simple distribution over ambitious creation. His aggression adds disruption but can pull him from line, so timing and composure remain more variable than his physical tools.

Won consecutive German Cups with RB Leipzig in 2022 and 2023 before adding the 2026 Saudi league title.

Started 28 league matches in 2025-26 as his side recorded 16 clean sheets, and he contributed three goals.

Scored a 95th-minute header against NEOM in March 2026 to send his team back to the top of the league.
