Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Relentless carrier and defensive anchor

Across 44 matches, Palu presents as a high-volume contributor on both sides of the ball, averaging nearly eight tackles and over six carries per game with the consistency expected of a set-piece forward. His per-match carrying numbers reflect a player used regularly as a platform builder rather than a line-breaker, while peak outputs of 16 carries and 16 tackles in a single game point to the capacity to dominate when the contest demands it. That combination of defensive reliability and steady ball-carrying presence makes him a meaningful workhorse across multiple competitions.
