I think he should go to LA LIGA. That league is one sided but alot more technical than the epl

With his body size as a striker in the EPL I doubt his performance. Must they play in EPL ? I doubt his pace sef. EPL players most especially defenders are mostly giant and tackle anyhow just to render so many players useless. EPL ain't the ultimate I prefer our players in Porto,Benfica,Ajax,Shaktar,Lyon and few better clubs to being in few midtable clubs in the EPL that fight for nothing.

I wish 21 was his real age.

What makes Onyekuru exciting is actually his speed, the dude is rapid
