Endrick

Key strength: Link-up play

Target man

Olympique Lyon sit 4th in Ligue 1, riding a promising WWWDL run that has Les Gones within striking distance of European places. Leading their charge is 19-year-old Brazilian phenomenon Endrick, the €25 million centre-forward whose transition to European football has been nothing short of electric. With 6 goals and 5 assists across just 17 appearances—averaging a goal involvement every 110 minutes—the teenager has rapidly become Lyon's attacking heartbeat. His 71-rated shooting underpins a clinical finisher's instinct that complements creative link-up play evidenced by those 5 assists. Even as Lyon navigates patchy form, Endrick's complete forward play offers genuine optimism. Operating alongside veterans like Corentin Tolisso and emerging talents such as Tyler Morton, the Brazilian is already outperforming his price tag. That €25m investment? Looking like one of the bargains of the season.
