Style of play An offensive-minded left-back with remarkable physical abilities, Nhaga's style of play very soon earned him comparisons to his PSG teammate Nuno Mendes. PSG manager Christophe Galtier described Nhaga as a "left-footed, very explosive, powerful [player], with good technical abilities".
