Capable of taking on his man 1v1 and beating him with pace and skill. Shows great awareness and technique to link up play effectively with good short passing. Occasionally plays long balls to teammates, with mixed results. Rarely holds onto the ball for too long. Not afraid to let fly from distance and can generate great power behind his strikes. Very composed finisher in front of goal and can finish well with either foot. Decent ground crosser when he gets into position.
Often plays as the lone striker in a 4231 or 433. Has good movement and runs the channels well, occasionally using his pace to get in behind the defense. Serves as the focal point for his team’s attacks, pinning defenders with his strength and bringing teammates into play with his linkup. Likes to be involved in the buildup and would occasionally drop deep to help keep possession. Has great positioning and finds dangerous areas in the box to receive the ball after creating separation from his marker.

Composed in possession. Not the most vocal of players. His decision making can be erratic at times. Tends to get frustrated when things are not going his way.
