My Take
Yussuf Poulsen is the kind of forward I love watching: all sweat, sacrifice and selfless running. At 193 cm he bullies defenders up front, but it is his willingness to grind for the team that earns my respect. Born in Copenhagen in 1994, he was a key figure in RB Leipzig's remarkable climb from the third tier to the Bundesliga in just three seasons. He values graft over glamour, and even his Yurary shirt name has a little flair to it. For Denmark and his clubs alike, he is exactly the workhorse I find myself rooting for.
