A Balanced Midfielder. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, a capable chance creator (1.1 key passes/90), a regular goalscorer (0.35 goals/90), a prolific assist provider (0.26 assists/90), active in the tackle (2.3 tackles/90) and active off the ball (2.5 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions. However, he loses possession under pressure (1.6 dispossessed/90).
