Playing style
GoalPost sees a midfielder used as a winger, and he plays like an engine out wide: direct in his movements, aggressive in the press, and always hunting the next ball. He pinches in to help the midfield, then bursts back into wide channels to keep attacks moving and unsettle defenders with constant pressure.
View style breakdown →World Cup 2026 outlook
For Canada at World Cup 2026, he matters because he sets the tone without the ball and gives the team a tireless outlet on the flank. In a squad that will need energy and bite, his pressing can be a real edge against teams trying to play through Canada.
