What Scouts Say: "Fantastic on the ball and he's got good feet ... Pretty cheeky ... He's small and slight, but sneaky. A clever kid and a good passer ... Dangerous going to goal ... Really busy side to side. Buzzes for 90 minutes with good energy and moves the ball well ... Great work rate and great intangibles ... Can also create space on his own or via combination play and he can slip guys in ... If he doesn't get the ball he tends to go back to get it and becomes less effective ... Where do you play him? Will they give him a No. 10 role in MLS? He can't play wide ... He's a straight-up attacking midfielder and doesn't contribute much defensively. He didn't have to defend at Bakersfield ... Can he make up the physical demands of the game in MLS? The physical part of the game is a question. Has size limitations ... Can he play fast enough at the MLS level? ... Similar to San Jose's Rafael Baca, he could get a bit stronger and learn to play defense ... Has to be on the right team in MLS, one that keeps things flat."
