Here’s another young Spaniard with a huge talent. This promising striker is playing for Athletic Bilbao, his debut in the first team was in Europa League eliminations against BSC Young Boys Bern, becoming the youngest player to play for Atheltic ever (he was 16 years, 7 months, 11 days old), exactly a week later he scored his first goal for the club, as the youngest striker in team’s history. He’s played in 33 matches and scored 5 goals since.
He’s career start is pretty impressive, combined with his ambition and potential could lead him on the very top. Like every good striker, he has great pace, agility and nice acceleration, also his mental attributes show he’s potential for becoming European football star- he has got high flair, determination, good off the ball play, besides that he handles well playing in important matches and has high consistency during the season. Like most players from a country of the current European champions and World Cup candidates, he is well skilled technically and can dribble. He’s only weakness is poor heading, but it is only a matter of time he will master it on a good level. However it isn’t that important considering his height.
Price… Well, good product is always costly, so Bilbao won’t starts the negotiations until 15 million € is on the table. If you are running rich clubs from good leagues and you are thinking about the future, instead spending astronomical money on well-known names, you should look on this player.
