Current Analogue
Crystal Palace
Both receive with a defender tight to their back, hold off the challenge and lay the ball into an arriving teammate's path before turning toward goal.
Mateta offers a taller aerial target; this comparison centres on protecting the ball and connecting the next runner.

Historical Analogue
Brobbey's strength in retaining a direct pass and bringing a teammate into play recalls Viduka at Leeds, where the striker could make an attack stick under contact.
