I think you’re mistaken – I generally don’t like DMs of that type and he’s certainly not that. He has an all-around skill set, can play box-to-box or even as AM, he takes set pieces for his team, which partially explains why his key pass metrics are so high (significantly higher than Gravvy and Zubimendi), but his progressive passes stats are also on an excellent level, which shows the key pass metric is not an outlier. He is also much faster and covers more ground than Endo. And he is a good ball-striker, even scored from the half-way line last season. For me he’s like a Caicedo with higher offensive potential. I think he’s a future star midfielder for someone.

Well that's what I saw in the arsenal game. I dunno Zi could be wrong. Haven't seen him that much.
