The shape of him
Johan Manzambi is a 21-year-old forward at Aston Villa and a Switzerland international. In 25/26 that meant 49 club appearances and 3,725 minutes. A forward is measured in end product: the movement that finds space, the finish that decides it, and the threat that pins defenders back.
The job
Stretch the defence, take the chances that come, and lead the press from the front.
