My Take
Denis Bouanga has become must-watch viewing for me since he landed at LAFC, where his pace and finishing have made him one of the most dangerous attackers in Major League Soccer. Born in Le Mans in 1994, he cut his teeth across Ligue 1 with Lorient, Nîmes and Saint-Étienne before that 2022 move. I love that, French-born, he chose to represent Gabon; there's a pride in that decision I find genuinely admirable. He plays with a relentless, almost greedy hunger for goals that lights up a match. To me he's proof MLS can attract attackers in their absolute prime.
