A polyvalent midfielder, Ayman Kari mainly played as a sentinelle, a deep-lying playmaker, during his time under Zoumana Camara with PSG youth teams.[4]
He is described as a hard-working player, good at pressing and getting the ball back, with great pace, then able to make good use of the ball, with a controlled and decisive game.[4]
