Style of play
A prime example of a modern full-back. Sameoun is fast, skillful and versatile, capable of playing on both the left and right flanks. Though predominantly a left-back he has also played as a winger. His attacking mindset and willingness to play high up the field has led to some dodgy defensive performances, sometimes not being able to track back to defend in time after going on the attack.
