The Mexican star can spark creativity from midfield and add luency in thebuild-up play in the final third. He is tenacious and hard-working, whilst also possessing the ball retention skills and the intelligence to get into promising goalscoring positions. Not only that, but the Tampico-born star also has a hammer of a right foot that is capable of delivering rockets from long distances. He has the ability to hold the ball in tightest of situations and his wonderful technique allows him to run comfortably with it." Various outlets have described him as a difference maker in critical moments. He also plays as an inverted winger, having the tendency to move to the inside of the pitch as the full-backs move upward so he can thrive.
