SCOUTING SUMMARY

Ball-carrying full-back whose acceleration can bypass a pressing line and deliver possession directly into the final third.

PLAYING STYLEReceives close to the touchline, pushes the ball beyond the first opponent and accelerates into open grass. He is more dangerous when given a clear lane than when asked to remain inside as a static extra midfielder.

FM26 TACTICAL FITUse as a Wing-Back on support or attack in a 4-3-3 with a left winger moving inside. Encourage carries and overlaps while the left central midfielder covers behind. Against a deep block, alternate outside runs with occasional underlaps to avoid predictability.

An explosive left-back who advances the team through long carries and gives a narrow attack immediate width on the outside.

STRENGTHSAcceleration; progressive carrying; natural width; recovery speed; ability to turn a safe pass into attacking territory.
RISKSA crowded touchline removes his runway, while early forward commitment can leave the outside centre-back defending a larger channel.
DEVELOPMENT AREASFinal-ball consistency, recognition of underlapping opportunities and defensive body position against far-post switches.
OUTLOOKHigh-level attacking full-back with elite upside in a structure that protects and exploits his carrying.
