SCOUTING SUMMARY

Flexible holding midfielder whose composure and positional intelligence support changing build-up shapes.

PLAYING STYLEOffers between or beside the centre-backs, receives calmly and moves possession before adjusting into the next supporting position. His experience across midfield and defence makes him comfortable covering the channel or dropping into the back line.

FM26 TACTICAL FITDevelop as a Defensive Midfielder on support or Inverted Full-Back in a 4-3-3. Give him clear passing angles and an experienced organiser nearby. His versatility is useful, but sustained midfield minutes will sharpen a defined long-term role.

A tactically mature young midfielder who can receive during build-up, carry through pressure and cover defensive roles without disrupting the structure.

STRENGTHSComposure; positional flexibility; press resistance; carrying from deep; tactical awareness; recovery work.
RISKSFrequent role changes may slow specialist development, while powerful senior midfielders can test him in direct contact and aerial duels.
DEVELOPMENT AREASStrength in central duels, longer progressive passing and command of the holding zone when teammates rotate ahead.
OUTLOOKHigh-value development profile with the intelligence and flexibility to become an elite-system midfielder.
