Scouting Report

Versatile forward or playmaker Nicolae Stanciu has been earning a wage in Saudi Arabia this season but remains a key figure with Romania, who he captains. Only Razvan Marin committed more fouls in qualifying among the Romanian ranks than Stanciu, who led their goals charts with three and shots fired with 29.
