Playing Style Profiles
Araújo is a creative wrecking ball masquerading as a defender, a player whose value is found entirely in the final third rather than his own box. While his 75.4% pass accuracy suggests sloppiness, it actually masks a high-risk, high-reward visionary who sits in the top 5% of the league for key passes (2.39/90) and the top 10% for passes into the final third.
A Active Full-Back. Statistically, he stands out as a capable chance creator (1.2 key passes/90), a regular goalscorer (0.22 goals/90), active in the tackle (2.1 tackles/90), draws fouls effectively (2.4/90) and active off the ball (2.7 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
