An explosive striker (176 cm), he's technically advanced and demonstrates good dribbling skills and the ability to handle and shoot with both feet. He's a good first-touch player, able to receive and connect with teammates through forward support. He has a good shot from mid-range and is good at shooting in the finishing zones, where he also finishes well, scoring several goals. He's strong in offensive transition situations, as he knows how to find depth behind the opposing defense and drive into the final third to finish or provide an assist. He displays quality passing, which he uses to vary the center of play, play through balls for teammates to run into, and deliver precise crosses into the box. Defensively, he's aggressive in pressing, closes passing lanes, and anticipates opponents well. He demonstrates maturity in his game, is hard-working, and confident in his actions. His weak point is in duels, so his body is still developing and he hasn't yet reached this level of proficiency. A player with enormous potential who plays for Kairat Almaty, he made history this year by leading the Kazakhstani club to its first Champions League title and promises to be the best player from that country of all time. Next year, he will join Chelsea and will most likely be loaned to a satellite club to acclimate to a completely different and much more competitive environment that will further his development.
