His 97 finishing is what legends are made of—put him in the box and he buries everything with cold-blooded precision. That 96 positioning means he's always making intelligent runs, ghosting into space between defenders. With CONTROLLED AccelerRATE his 92 acceleration gives him sharp movement off the shoulder of the last man. His 93 balance keeps him stable when surrounded, and 96 reactions mean he reacts to loose balls instantly. The weakness is his limited passing—81 vision and 82 short passing make him a pure poacher, not a playmaker. His 75 strength is average for holding off CBs, and 82 sprint speed means recovery runs aren't his thing. Don't expect him to dribble past players either—just feed him in the box and watch him work.
