My Take
Kevin Gameiro is a striker I always rated more than the headlines did. At 172 cm he was never the imposing type, but his finishing was so clean it didn't matter, and that's exactly the kind of player I enjoy watching: someone who wins by being smarter and quicker in the box rather than bigger. I like that his roots stayed local early on, with clubs along the Oise before the move to Strasbourg in 2004 launched the real climb. From there to Sevilla and the French national team, he built a career on the simplest, hardest skill in the game, putting the ball in the net.
Overview
Kevin Dominique Gameiro (born 9 May 1987) is a French former professional footballer who played as a striker. He was a strong striker known for his clinical finishing, which compensated for his relatively light frame. Gameiro began his football career playing for clubs along the Oise such as Marly-la-Ville and US Chantilly. In 2004, he moved to the Alsace region to join professional club Strasbourg.
