Style of play

Bomba plays as a forward. English newspaper The Guardian wrote in 2025 that he "combines physical dominance with finesse. Aerially, he is a real threat, attacking every cross with conviction. Yet for a taller striker, his technical ability stands out: quick flicks, backheels and sharp link-up play allow him to knit attacks together and create space for teammates". [3]
