Scouting Report & Player Insights

Left-footed center-back who defends on the front foot and is comfortable driving into midfield. Combines recovery speed with a strong duel presence and a willingness to break lines with his passing. Still polishing positional discipline and decision-making, but the raw tools point to a modern defender capable of handling large spaces.

Received a senior international call-up as a teenager.

Has also been deployed at full-back when tactical needs required it.
