No roster-based suggestions yet.
A composed, deep-lying midfielder who controls tempo through short and long passing. Prefers to operate in a central role where positional discipline, vision and ball retention allow him to link defence and attack. Not reliant on pace; his strengths are ball control, decision-making and breaking play in midfield.
Early in his career he earned frequent comparisons to a classic deep-lying playmaker for his range of passing and composure.
Noted for calming the game when under pressure, often slowing play to recycle possession and dictate tempo.
