Oumar Thiao

This lightning-fast Senegalese fullback recovers from every tackle with a friendly smile, turning the agony of a career-threatening lawnmower-related toe injury into an unyielding engine that dominates both flanks. While his relentless work rate and tactical interceptions are elite, he sometimes gets too aggressive, leaving his defensive positioning vulnerable. He is a blur of kinetic energy who fights for every ball with a joyous intensity.
