Callum Styles

Styles built his career on adaptability rather than a single defined role, equally comfortable tucking in as an extra midfielder or bombing forward from left back when his side needs width. That range means he rarely looks tactically lost, because he has effectively learned three positions worth of habits rather than one. He gets into the box more than most players asked to cover defensive ground, and his end product from those bursts has become a genuine weapon.

The trade off with that kind of versatility is he never quite gets to specialise long enough to master any one job's finer details. A settled left back learns every trick of that particular battle over years, while Styles keeps switching before he can fully do the same. Whether a settled role finally arrives at West Brom will shape how his career there is remembered.
