Identify the player

Broad clue

A midfielder who represents Switzerland.

Age clue

He was born on 14 October 2005, so he is still 20 on this puzzle’s date.

Club clue

He moved from Freiburg to Aston Villa in July 2026; his club shirt number is 44.

Reveal answer
  • Johan Manzambi
Why the answer fits

Johan Manzambi matches the Swiss nationality, midfield position and number 44. The date matters for age feedback: 4 October comes before his birthday, so 2026 minus 2005 must be reduced by one, giving 20.

Freiburg announced his move to Aston Villa on 17 July 2026, and UEFA’s player profile also lists Villa. Older Freiburg references describe his career correctly but can mislead a current-club guess. This page covers the Big 4 26/27 edition only; other league editions can have different daily players.
