Lewis Dunk 

Lewis Dunk remains a bastion at the heart of Brighton & Hove Albion's defence, even at 33. His style of play is marked by a calm assurance, particularly in one-on-one defensive scenarios where he excels, often leaving attackers frustrated. Dunk's penalty area defending is solid, but it's his ability to read the game and recover possession that's truly impressive. His progressive passing is a standout feature, frequently igniting Brighton's transitions from defence to attack, showcasing a vision that's rare among centre backs. While his goal threat and chance creation aren't his calling cards, his defensive acumen and ball retention more than compensate. In this scout report, Dunk's stats highlight a player who combines experience with technical proficiency, making him a crucial figure in Brighton's backline.
