A. Ibrahim is a 24-year-old winger at Columbus Crew, rated 41.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 107th of 513 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (42.9% of available minutes). He brings 0.32 goal contributions per 90 (0.19 goals, 0.13 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ibrahim.
