He’s quicker than most central mids at this rating, useful both for carrying the ball forwards and for tracking back.

This is probably his strongest suit. He’s comfortable receiving under pressure, turning, and picking out forward passes, short combination play, through-balls into the half-space, and late runs beyond the striker all work well.

He can carry the ball out of midfield and escape pressure in tight areas. Not a flashy dribbler, but his close control and balance make him effective in 1v1 situations and when navigating congested central lanes.

He contributes defensively, good interceptions, positioning, and solid tackling

Strong enough to hold off challengers and win duels. That physical presence helps him when shielding the ball.
