Rafael Santos operates as St. Louis CITY's Bronze-tier Squad Player. Having navigated a series of loans in his native Brazil before finding his footing in North America, the 28-year-old is steadily building a solid body of work.
He is establishing himself as a highly useful rotational option. With 403 minutes under his belt, his distribution is what catches the eye. A strong Passing dimension proves he can dictate the tempo when called upon. He has unlocked the SILVER TRAY badge for his reliable chance creation, laying on a key assist to reward the forward line. However, the WASTEFUL tag indicates a clear need for better composure in front of goal. Despite that lack of finishing polish, he is hitting top form and providing exactly what the manager demands from the fringes of the squad.
Hovering around a stable €1M valuation, he represents sensible and affordable depth. Maintaining this upward trajectory will be vital for cementing his long-term status at the club.
