Summary

An interesting prospect in the mould of Essien with electric speed, strength and stamina. Samson Tijani is tireless, hard working and competent in possession capable of anchoring any top flight side. Despite joining RB Salzburg just this year he can be bought for £7 million.

In my test save Tijani joined Man City for £78 million after costing Newcastle £21 million in 2023. He developed 16 and above for stamina, pace, balance, agility and acceleration, underlining that impressive physicality. His mental attributes grew too with 16 or above in vision, positioning, determination, concentration and anticipation.

The kid has good all round ability and would adapt to the box to box midfielder role but if you utilise a DMC Tijani is your man.
