Strengths

- Multi-country experience — Playing in Estonia, Belgium, Finland and Slovakia points to his adaptability.
Development Areas
- Attacking output — His goal/assist contribution in his career is still limited; his productivity in the final third needs to develop.
- Consistency — His minutes were limited during his Belgian spell; he must prove consistency by playing regularly.
- New-club adaptation — His adaptation to FC Košice, which he joined in January 2026, should be monitored.
