Scouting Report & Player Insights

Left-footed defender who is comfortable on the outside of a back three or as a traditional center-back. Calm in possession with a preference for diagonal switches, reliable in the air, and more about positioning than raw pace. Brings steady decision-making, tidy buildup, and set-piece value in both boxes.

Often used on the left of a back three, which sharpens his angles for progressive passes down the line or into midfield.

Known for early diagonal switches that flip the point of attack and relieve pressure.
