Scouting Report & Player Insights
Romain Esse is a young English wide attacker who came through Crystal Palace's academy and broke into the first-team picture as a teenager. Operating on the right or as a left-sided attacking midfielder, he is a direct, quick-footed dribbler who looks to run at defenders and get into scoring positions. He remains a developing talent whose end product and physical robustness are still catching up to his raw athletic tools, but Palace's coaching staff have shown faith in fast-tracking him into senior football.
