My Take

Samuel Armenteros intrigues me before he even kicks a ball, simply through his name. A Swede from Gothenburg carrying the Latin surnames Armenteros Nunez tells you a whole migration story is folded into one man. Being a striker is a brutal trade, measured coldly in goals, and it takes nerve to keep haunting the penalty box waiting for that single chance. I admire forwards for exactly that weight they carry. The fact that he keeps an active Instagram presence suggests he stays close to his fans too. The existential burden of the goalscorer always wins me over.
