He is extremely fast on the flanks and has been able to out-strength most of his opponents when attacking. The player's creative aspects have also served him well since his days in the Eredivisie. The 24-year-old also has the age factor on his side and will only improve from here, while his versatility to play on either wing and as an attacking midfielder will also come in handy.
