I think there's a Ruferesque DM in LKH, given some time there. Similar calmness on the ball, even when the situation calls for some urgency, happy to take it into tight areas and back himself to get out, which backfires a lot less for Rufes than it used to. 

Neither are as good as their stature would suggest aerially, but Rufer obviously puts himself about a lot better in general play and definitely  something Kelly-Heald has to add. 

I'm not sure LKH would be better long term in midfield than as a left sided CB, but I can see the potential in there, and I can see minutes in the midfield making him better on the ball even if he does settle in at CB.
