Éric Maxim Choupo-Moting

I have a soft spot for grafters like Éric Maxim Choupo-Moting. Born and raised in Germany yet choosing to represent Cameroon, this towering forward worked his way up from a Hamburger SV debut through clubs across Europe, eventually landing among Bayern Munich's title winners late in his career. Now still going at New York Red Bulls, his sheer longevity is admirable. He was never the flashiest star, but he had that knack for scoring in decisive moments. A patient, journeyman striker who kept proving himself, he's exactly the type of player I find easy to root for.
