What Scouts Say: "Creative player with excellent vision … He sees things a little bit differently from the average player, so he isn't afraid to try difficult things, and when they come off, it's pretty unique and special … Where he hurts you is that he can put the final pass in and do it accurately … Very comfortable with both feet and excels at crossing the ball, and running at people … He could play central midfield in a three-man midfield or in a two-man midfield with a really good athlete behind him, but I think he projects as a wide player at the next level … I'm not sure he's tough enough to make an impact in MLS … Some consider him a defensive liability, but he doesn't pull out of tackles … His biggest challenges are his size and his ability to withstand the physicality of the professional game."
