Report date: August 2023

Position: striker

Foot: left

Club: Manchester United

Two-dimensional striker that can be strong and robust when holding-up the play/back to goal aswell as quick when running behind the defensive line. Left-footed, running and shooting from the left halfspace are his trademark.

Average-taller heigth with pretty much perfect strength both in terms of core/balance and upper-body/shoulder-to-shoulder. Acceleration is average but on long distances his speed is insane. Proven to be really dangerous on counter-attacks in that way.

Likes to drop deeper and open wide. In terms of game flow he still seems to be quite reactive, often overcrowding spaces.

Good box movement, likes to dermarkate himself in Haaland-fashion where he moves diagonally from a defender onto the far post. Managed to score a few goals like that.

He’s not an elite finisher just yet. His shots can be powerful but sometimes has some poor attempts when he can’t prepare the shot for himself. Also prone to occasionally miss some clear-cut chances.

Conclusion:
Still a raw player but young and has a good base for becoming one of the best strikers in the world which he will undoubtely do. Physically won’t have any problems adjusting to the Premier League. He might have a quieter first season in terms of goal scoring as is often the case with strikers but under the right conditions he can become a beast.
