Yeah based off stats it seems that he wouldn’t be suited to it, but stats don’t tell you everything.I know he played LB a few times this season but I didn't see any of those games unfortunately. From what i've seen i'd say its a bit of a stretch as I don't think he has the technical ability on the ball (yet) to be what would essentially be a midfielder, as that is where inverted FB tend to sit when in possession. Not that he isn't comfortable on the ball or have passing ability, its just there is a jump between the roles when it comes to required ability on the ball, but as i said ive only seen a handful of games so I wouldn't dare say he cant for certain.
And then when I saw people comparing him to Vertonghen, I thought it would be more of a possibility as I think Vertonghen would have been able to play the position very successfully.
