Manchester City · EnglandSCOUTING SUMMARY
Inverting full-back and auxiliary midfielder who improves circulation, counter-pressure and central overloads.
PLAYING STYLELeaves the touchline early to receive beside or ahead of the holding midfielder, plays quick combinations and adjusts his position continuously to preserve passing angles. He progresses through intelligence and technique rather than long power carries.
FM26 TACTICAL FITUse as an Inverted Wing-Back on support in a 4-3-3, with the opposite full-back providing more width. Place a mobile number eight ahead of him and keep the right winger wide. He is best in controlled possession with immediate counter-pressure after turnovers.
A technically secure hybrid full-back who moves into midfield, combines under pressure and helps a possession team control the centre.
STRENGTHSPress resistance; short combinations; tactical intelligence; central overloads; fast positioning for the counter-press.
RISKSBack-post aerial isolation and powerful wide runners can target his physical profile, while excessive positional freedom may leave the touchline unoccupied.
DEVELOPMENT AREASOne-against-one control near his own box, longer progressive passing and sharper recognition of when to remain as a conventional full-back.
OUTLOOKHigh-level tactical specialist with elite value in a structured positional-possession system.
