Very good in the air. Surprisingly so for a player known for being good with his feet, he is actually better at heading.

Not the best tackler, it is something he looks to avoid doing if at all possible.

Known for being good with his feet, but his range of passes and vision leave a lot to be desired for a ball playing centre half. He is comfortable being on the ball but that is a long way from being a good passer of the ball.

Is improving in this area each season. No longer a weakness in his game, now he is strong enough to hold his own against most.

Good pace, one of the quicker centre halves, not just in outright pace, but also in acceleration.

Strong in the air, it is one of his key attributes.

He could be an excellent tackler, but he is far too rash at times, which leads to unnecessary cards. It is something he needs to work on as he should pick up far more red cards than he has done and his luck can only hold for so long.

A decent passer but not at the level Guardiola would prefer.

Good strength, very rarely bullied by a forward in that respect.

Can be beaten for pace, which leads to rash challenges and pulls at times.
