Pablo Gozálbez

In the heart of Arouca's midfield, Pablo Gozálbez exemplifies a dynamic attacking style that's catching the eye of scouts across Europe. At just 24, he's showcasing a blend of creativity and incisiveness that belies his years. His ability to progress the ball both through carrying and passing marks him as a genuine asset in transition, often driving his team forward with purpose. Gozálbez's goal threat is impressive, highlighting his knack for finding space and capitalising on opportunities – a vital trait for any attacking midfielder. However, while his goal efficiency is commendable, his ball retention needs work, occasionally leaving possession too easily. Defensively, he's not the most robust, with his 1v1 and penalty area defending leaving room for improvement, but his primary role in creating and executing attacking plays remains his standout feature. Gozálbez’s player stats suggest a high ceiling, and with refinement, he could well become a pivotal figure in Liga Portugal and beyond.
