In the 2025/26 season, he has increasingly caught the eye of Pep Guardiola, blending his immense physical presence with the technical grace usually expected of a much smaller playmaker. Known for his versatility, he can operate as a deep-lying playmaker or an attacking midfielder, famously scoring a stunning scorpion kick in the youth ranks that showcased his unique flair.
