Poku's impact across the U20 Championship is built almost entirely on defence, averaging eight tackles per appearance from a replacement role — a workload that speaks to his immediate physicality when introduced. His carrying game is minimal by design, suggesting he is deployed primarily to shore up the defensive line rather than carry ball. At his best he has recorded twelve tackles in a single outing, underlining the consistency and intensity he brings in limited minutes.
