Scouting Report & Player Insights

Compact, press-resistant midfielder who links phases with secure passing and sturdy ball carrying. Offers intensity without the ball, reading danger and breaking play while keeping structure. More of a facilitator than a final-third difference-maker, he stabilizes midfield with disciplined positioning and reliable ball retention.

Has been deployed both as a single pivot and alongside another holding midfielder within the same match to manage game state.

Often trusted late in games to help protect a lead through ball retention and calm decision-making.
