Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Engine-room flanker, carries and tackles

Across 76 matches Tshituka maintains a workload that marks him out as a high-volume contributor on both sides of the ball, averaging over eight tackles and more than seven carries per game throughout a dataset spanning multiple major competitions. His carrying numbers translate into consistent meterage gained, while his tackle counts point to a player who is heavily involved in defensive structure week after week. The peak outputs — 26 tackles and 16 carries in single matches — confirm he can step up his involvement significantly when the game demands it.
