Playing style
E. Just plays as an inside forward who looks to break off the shoulder and drive into the half-space rather than stay wide and safe. He wants the ball at speed, then carries it inward to unsettle shape and get shots or final actions away quickly. The read is of a forward who works off instinct and timing more than polish, with his best value coming when he can arrive in pockets rather than wrestle for the ball.
