- Physicality when it comes to height, agility and speed. Utilizes his strength but is also agile enough to play with the ball in his feet. Willing to help with defensive duties.
- Versatility, being able to play as a false 9, second striker or winger, always bringing 1v1 ability to boost his actions to create opportunities for himself and teammates
