Decent pace, being a right mid, he has the speed to both beat fullbacks and recover defensively. Think quick bursts to get past markers and enough top speed to support counterattacks.

Shooting ability with his strong foot (right foot), confident finisher from inside the box and dangerous on late runs into the area.

A good playmaker, solid vision and short-pass range; he can combine in tight spaces, play incisive cutbacks, and set up teammates with through balls or quick one-twos.

Excellent close control and balance, which makes him hard to dispossess and great at dribbling through midfield traffic.

Enough strength and balance to hold off defenders, plus decent stamina so he can press and make repeated runs for the full match.
