Daniel Leyva is Necaxa's Silver-tier Engine. At 23, the American midfielder is carving out his identity south of the border. Building upon a foundation developed in the Seattle system, he has transformed into a hybrid presence who covers immense ground while actively pulling the strings in the middle of the park.
Our verdict on his campaign reveals a player hitting top form. Across 12 appearances and 956 minutes of action, Leyva proves his worth through sheer involvement. A remarkably high Passing dimension dictates his style of play. He sets the tempo, constantly moving the ball into dangerous areas. His vision has earned him the ARCHITECT badge, highlighting his eye for a defense-splitting ball. Crucially, he backs this up out of possession. Verified as an INTERCEPTOR, his ability to read the game and step in front of passing lanes makes him incredibly frustrating for opponents to bypass.
Valued at €1M, his market trajectory is showing a falling trend. However, his rising form suggests that valuation might soon correct itself. He remains a highly functional and intelligent piece for any tactical setup.
