Watch Spain.Still don't get the hype around him.

Thats not exactly how it works. Bilbao scored like 50 goals this season. They rely on the defense to scratch out games. They haven't had a real 9 in who knows how long maybe since Aduritz. Bilbao relies on the Williams to do everything and Sancet. La Liga teams usually are just terrible and so having 30 goals against all season will carry them.130 league games in the past 4 seasons for Bilbao. 16 goals , 20 assists.
So he averages 4 goals and 5 assists per season, for a perennial Top 4 chasing side in La Liga. That means he plays on the stronger side in around 80 percent of his games, so let's not talk about how he is struggling because of his team mates.
People will say he has improved from his first season where he got ZERO goals and ZERO assists from 34 games.
But alas, his last season was almost identical to his career average, with 5 goals and 5 assists. Somewhat worrying when the eye test seems to also confirm the same thing : That he struggles to create and score goals.
The one positive I can say is that at least he will have resale value if he flops, unlike our other LW targets that have the potential to drain us for years like Countinho, as they enter their early 30s.
Class show that. 1994 Spider-Man TAS.Seeing my Rafael Leao dream wither away.
yes i know he's a deeply flawed player due to his lack of work rate and mood swings, but i like the player and have the delusional faith he will change at a team like ours

Honestly don't think he has what it takes to be world class with bunch of G/A. But could be wrong.
