Andrei Ciobanu is a 22 year old attacking midfielder for Viitorul Constanta in the Romanian Liga 1. A former Romanian youth international, his team finished the 2019/20 regular season in 7th and are currently 1st in the Relegation round.
Ciobanu has a WR (attempted actions per minute) of 1.02 which means he sees a lot of action in the game but as his VPM indicates, it is balanced both in defence and attack. His attacking VPM is over a point more than his defense VPM but considering his history is more of an attacking player having also played out on the wing, this is to be expected.
The breakdown of his 7.9 VPM is ideal for a central midfielder. He has good success in his duels and his passing, particularly his through passes, are quite accurate. At 22, he’s still improving and developing so don’t be surprised to see him moving on from Romania in the future.
