Across 26 matches Botitu averages over 30 metres per game with the ball in hand, pointing to a centre who takes on contact regularly and makes hard yards rather than relying on space. His tackle count sits close to five per match, suggesting he pulls genuine defensive weight in the midfield. A peak of 92 metres and 15 carries in a single outing shows the ceiling is considerably higher when conditions suit him.
