Great pace for a CDM, with good sprint speed and acceleration to cover large areas.

Passing is excellent, with reliable short passes, long balls, and accurate distribution from deep.

Ball control and dribbling are surprisingly good for a defensive midfielder, staying composed under pressure.

Shooting with his strong foot is solid, especially for powerful long shots outside the box.

Very versatile in midfield, contributing well in both defensive work and build-up play.
