The creativity both of them bring to the attacking midfield role feels like a similar profile for them. Although Reyna's dribbling quality is going to get her looks on the wing at some point.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Best attributes: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Balance&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>First touch&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dribbling&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["279282"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67be193ab9317"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Winger for Carolina Ascent, member of the US Youth National Team - looks to be on the pro pathway</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Player comparison - Eugenie Le Sommer&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There's not a great comparison to her on the current US Women's National Team or the recent team.
