Henry Lawrence

In a season where H. Lawrence has emerged as a standout performer for Standard Liège, his defensive prowess and progressive play have been the bedrock of his game. At just 23, he's already demonstrating the maturity of a seasoned right-back. His style of play is characterised by remarkable composure in penalty box defending, where he's shown exceptional ability to thwart opposition efforts. Lawrence’s 1v1 defending is solid, making him a reliable figure when isolated against attackers. What sets him apart, though, is his progressive carrying ability, which is among the best in his position, allowing him to transition defence into attack seamlessly. While his chance creation and goal threat are modest, as expected for a defender, his ball retention is impressive, ensuring his team maintains possession under pressure. With these attributes, Lawrence's scout report reads like that of a player with immense potential, poised for significant strides in his career.
