GoalPost read
A. Castro-Montes is a prime defender who also plays in midfield. Union St. Gilloise showed his best recent level, but league-level discount and no locked-in start keep the case measured.

Analysis overview
Castro-Montes operates as a roving playmaker in the attacking midfield role, constantly scanning and shifting to find soft angles for through-balls and cut-backs. His game hinges on quick recognition of space and the ability to slip teammates into dangerous positions rather than carrying the ball himself. Movement is intelligent and economical, always positioning himself as the fulcrum between defence and attack.
