Standing at 182 cm and weighing 74 kg, he combines physical presence with agility, allowing him to effectively disrupt opposing plays while contributing to his team's attacking efforts. A right-footed player, he exhibits a strong ability to transition the ball from defense to offense, as evidenced by his impressive tally of 67 key passes this season.
