Style of play 

Strong, self-assured, and agile right-footed keeper with quick feet and decent first touch. He is experienced for his age. He has a strong passing and commanding accuracy.

He is brave in all that he does and puts his entire body on the line. He will do whatever it takes to keep the ball out of the goal at any costs. Never afraid to take on a task, but also not overly ready to retreat.

When required, he is confident coming off his line or out of his 18-yard box, but he doesn't make a point of doing so all the time merely for show. strong levels of commitment and winning spirit. he is collected, quiet, and self-assured in all he does; aggression on the ball allows him to slow down the proceedings.
