RB Leipzig · FranceSCOUTING SUMMARY
Left-footed high-line defender who adds clean progression without sacrificing mobility in open space.
PLAYING STYLEReceives naturally on the left, commits the first presser with a short carry and then passes into midfield or towards the flank. Without the ball he closes quickly and prefers to win the action before it reaches his own box.
FM26 TACTICAL FITUse as a Ball-Playing Defender on defend on the left of a 4-3-3 or back three. Keep a covering defender inside when he steps out, and use an advanced left-back knowing Lukeba can protect the wider transition channel.
A quick left-sided centre-back who defends forward, carries out of pressure and has the recovery speed required by a high line.
STRENGTHSRecovery speed; left-footed build-up; timing when stepping forward; carrying through the first line; open-field defending.
RISKSAggressive stepping can be manipulated by rotations behind him, and repeated aerial isolation against a dominant target may reduce his advantage.
DEVELOPMENT AREASBack-post aerial control, variation of longer passes and discipline when the first duel cannot be won cleanly.
OUTLOOKHigh-level modern defender with the ceiling to lead the left side of an elite high line.
