Jeremiah Mensah

Jeremiah Mensah is a 17 years old German under 17 international who stands at 1.80m tall. He stands out for his ability to take charge of the build-up phase, distributing the game well with calm and assertive passing. He is good at carrying the ball and demonstrating the ability to retain possession. He is aggressive in duels, reads the game well and has good positional sense.

Left-footed, fast and agile player. Technically advanced midfielder, has a good first touch and is able to play with both feet. He demonstrates the ability to carry the game through vertical driving with the ball close to his feet and reaching the final third, where he shows quality in the final pass. He excels in the finishing zones, where he has a good finish and is good at shooting from mid-range. He likes to drop down the field to take charge of the build-up phase, getting away from his marker well to receive the ball alone and then distributing the game with intelligence and vision, being assertive in his passing and putting the ball well deep. He is calm on the ball, can control the tempo of the game with the ball and has the ability to retain possession, as he hides the ball well through short dribbling. Defensively, he is a very committed player, is strong in direct marking on the opponent and is aggressive in duels. He reveals a good reading of the game and a good positional sense, which allows him to occupy spaces and always be in the right place to intercept opponents' plays. Its weak point is in the aerial game. A player with potential who usually plays for Bayer Leverkusen's U17 and U19 teams as an attacking midfielder, but in this tournament he has made a good impression playing further back. In the near future I see him being one of Leverkusen's main figures in the UEFA Youth League, so there may be opportunities for him to play for the first team.
