Physicality and Work-Rate - robust, high-intensity "engine" who never stops running. Physically strong and can easily ride contact against physical opponents.
Safe, Uninventive Passing - he's a safety-first passer. Good at circulating possession but doesn't have the x-factor to consistently break lines (not close to Casemiro)
Struggles Under High Pressure: Not press resistant. He can have loose touches and sometimes lose the ball due to a lack of scanning.
Exceptional Availability and Durability: He's ever-present. Only missed 10 games through injuries.
Aerial ability: He's decent. Not as good as Casemiro. Can do a job, but we have to see how the ability translates into PL.
Ball Carrying: Some numbers could look good, but are a little deceptive. He isn't really a great progressive carrier. Just decent at it. He's actually better at making runs into the final third than running with the ball.
Good anticipation and reading of the game: He reads the game very well and can "sniff and snuff out threat" seconds before it develops.
Shooting and late box runs: His shooting is good, and he could benefit from shooting more (a bit like Tonali in that regard). His USP is his making late, crashing runs into the box to score, particularly headers (he could be like Mctominay in that regard).
