Scouting Report & Player Insights

Left-footed centre-back known for composed build-up play and accurate diagonals. Combines steady aerial presence with proactive step-ins, using timing and body orientation to break lines or intercept. Comfortable defending space behind the line, with enough recovery speed to manage channels. Best within a structure that values possession and organized rest-defense, though high-pressure traps can occasionally expose him.

Delivered a series of pinpoint diagonals in a high-pressure match that repeatedly flipped the field and calmed the tempo.

Returned from a mid-season setback to anchor his national side during a deep tournament run, earning praise for his leadership in the back line.
