My Take
What grabs me about Samu Aghehowa is the unlikely geography of his rise. Born in Melilla, a tiny Spanish enclave on the African coast, he climbed through Granada's academy, earned a move to Atlético Madrid, and now leads the line for Porto and Spain. At 193 cm and barely twenty, he is exactly the kind of modern forward I find exciting: big enough to bully defenders yet mobile enough to run channels. The loan to Alavés feels like the smart, patient apprenticeship that builds real strikers. I am betting on him quietly. If his finishing matures alongside his frame, he could become one of his generation's defining number nines.
