Onyedika performs his primary duties in the role expertly, as his impeccably timed tackling and athleticism make him an excellent ball-winner.

He is also very press-resistant and has the nimbleness to dance away from challenges in the midfield. His passing ability and press resistance makes him well-suited for the deep-lying playmaker role.

Onyedika is also capable of pulling off a skill move or two, a trait uncommon among footballers in his position.
