Analysis overview
Dos Santos operates as a modern sweeper-keeper, frequently off his line to compress space and intercept through balls before they reach strikers. He shows command of his box and distributes intelligently with his feet, though his decision-making under pressure remains inconsistent. His shot-stopping is sound but not yet commanding enough to dominate his area.
