Ian Glavinovich

Ian Glavinovich has emerged as a standout figure in the Philadelphia Union's defensive line, displaying a maturity beyond his 23 years. As a centre-back, his impressive ability to recover possession is complemented by his sharpness in the penalty area, making him a formidable presence against opposition attackers. His knack for progressive passing suggests a willingness to initiate from the back, setting the tempo for his team’s transitions. While his 1v1 defending could use refinement, his overall defensive acumen and eye for goal hint at a player with high potential. Notably, despite his primary defensive role, Glavinovich has demonstrated a surprising goal threat, adding an extra layer to his scout report. With room to grow, both in ball retention and individual duels, his current form indicates a promising trajectory in Major League Soccer and potentially beyond.
