Report:

Jaminton Campaz stands at 1.66m with a robust frame. Thus, despite being small, Campaz is strong on the ball and also strong in shoulder-to-shoulder duels. He has an above average burst of speed and decent speed over long distances, although he is not the quickest. Campaz has quick changes of directions. He maintains his balance well in duels with his back towards the goal. Campaz tracks back well and is combative in duels, recovering possession occasionally but also making needless fouls. 

He has a decent first touch under pressure, although he can sporadically have an average first touch. Campaz can also fail to keep the ball close enough to him whilst dribbling but it must be said that his close control is above average. Campaz is a quick thinker under pressure, displaying great handling speed in tight spaces both in and around the box. He takes on his opponents frequently but is not a natural winger. Campaz tries to get past his opponent using his technique, close control and changes of directions. He has mixed results in attacking duels. Campaz uses his body efficiently and is very combative in attacking duels, being capable of winning a 1v4 duel but also losing a 1v1 duel. His short passing technique is good and clean, although he almost never uses his right foot. When he uses his right foot, the results are very inconsistent. Campaz likes to play quick, short combinations with his teammates.

Jaminton Campaz displays good vision and decision-making in the final third. He often spots runners in behind and manages to find his teammates with (often) well-weighted through passes. Campaz likes to combine with his teammates in tight spaces around the box to create space, making a run into the box after passing the ball towards one of his teammates. He often makes good, well-timed runs into the box as he spots and uses space in behind very efficiently. Campaz has excellent ball-striking on his left foot. He can score from tight angles and is quite consistent with his shooting. Campaz sporadically has average shot selection but mostly shoots from decent shot locations, making the most of his efforts with his great ball-striking. Campaz is very efficient in 1v1s against the goalkeeper due to his composure, technical finishing and confidence. He also strikes the ball really well from penalty kicks. He can create chances from deeper with his through passing but most of his assists come from crosses and cut-backs from the left wing due to his good composure, vision and passing/crossing technique. 

Campaz is a very good player at his current level who can make a slight step up in level, although I do not think he will ever become a Premier League level player. He should play as an attacking midfielder but can also play on either wing. Campaz needs to work on his weak-foot ability and his first touch needs to be even better. I doubt he can work much on his speed over longer distances. Campaz is a creative player with good shooting ability and quick decision-making but I think his lack of two-footedness in combination, lack of ability in the small spaces occasionally and his lack of speed could hinder him at the highest level.
