Neal Maupay

Neal Maupay is a striker who thrives on irritating defenders as much as scoring past them, and I find that combative streak weirdly endearing. Born in Versailles in 1996 and a former France youth international, he came up through Nice before making his name in English football with his sharp movement and knack for goals against the run of play. At Brighton he was the team's reliable finisher when chances were scarce. Now back in Ligue 1 with Marseille, he's still that pesky, fearless presence up top. He's not the biggest, but his cleverness and front-foot attitude make him a genuine handful.
