GoalPost read
Zakaria is a prime deep midfielder whose value comes from control, screening, and reliability. Monaco showed his best recent level; the minutes he logged came in competitions that do less to lift his case.

Analysis overview
Zakaria operates as a two-way fulcrum, combining elite positional intelligence with press-resistant ball retention. He scans and carries possession into advanced areas with composure, breaking lines rather than going sideways, while his defensive reading—a step ahead of the play—lets him intercept or block without fouling.
