Sam operates with the profile of a traditional No. 9 who has clear target-man potential. He receives with composure, uses his frame to protect the ball, and links play cleanly with short combinations. His ability to post up against defenders gives midfielders a reliable outlet, and his timing when checking into space or spinning in behind is advanced for his age. He provides structure to attacks and offers consistent hold-up options.

Sam works responsibly without the ball, pressing with structure and engaging defenders in smart areas. He reads cues well, forcing play outside or slowing down transitions. His movement is intentional — stepping into passing lanes, occupying center backs, and making it difficult for opponents to build centrally.

His touch, ball control, and finishing technique stand out for a modern striker. He’s comfortable receiving under pressure, turning defenders, and striking with either foot. His ball-striking is clean and controlled, and he displays strong instincts inside the box, timing runs and finishing with confidence.

At 6'1" and 180 lbs, Sam has size with room to add strength and explosiveness. His mobility and balance already allow him to contribute effectively, but continued physical development will elevate his ceiling — especially in hold-up play, aerial duels, and sustained contact situations.

Sam profiles as a classic No. 9 with clear target-man upside. He has the technical foundation, instincts, movement patterns, and composure to grow into a high-impact striker as his physical development matures. His blend of size, finishing quality, and tactical understanding gives him a strong long-term trajectory.
