Super power: Vision, accurate passing, technique, goalscoring, assists & tough tackling

Elegant on the ball, calm under pressure, capable of overcoming the opposition press (counter-press), coupled with strong physical strength on he’s slender frame.

This is a technical, ball- playing and deep-lying playmaking defensive midfielder; unique for he's age.

With the endurance of a marathon runner, and pinpoint precision in short and long-range passing; this is a young player who does not only break-up the opposition attack with vertical and diagonal passes, but also dictates the tempo of each match. He is a ball-playing, defensive midfielder with deep-lying play-making capabilities.

He is 17 years old, and 5'11" tall, keeps he's head up almost all the time; which allows him continuously scans the pitch to simultaneously search for he’s teammates and avoid the opposition press. Though quiet and shy off the field, he has become one of the leaders on the field.

Per match, he averages 3 successful tackles, 2 interceptions, and 2 key line-breaking passes. He plays at the base of a 3-man midfield, in a 4-3-3 formation, 4-4-2 (diamond shape), or as part of a double pivot. He is most effective in one-touch quick passes, even over long distances.

With 3 goals scored and several assists this season, more is expected of him in the coming years; a talent that will be vital for he's country and any top level professional club. Efficient strikers and wingers would love him when attacking, just as central defenders and goalkeepers would love him as he protects them.

He’s style of play is a mixture of elegance (on the ball) and positive aggression (when off the ball and in tackles).

He joined he’s current team in August 2024, where they play in Division 2, having had few opportunities to play at he’s former Division 1 club. In November 2024, he broke into the starting 11 team and has become an important part of it; without him the team struggles to efficiently dictate game tempo. He’s capacity to learn seems to be a key element in he’s upward performance growth, since November 2024.

Professional clubs, especially those who are searching for a deep-lying playmaking defensive midfielder, with a mature personality on and off the field, will find him to be of immense value to their squad. This is one young player who is ready to learn, grow, and influence matches.
