A future great French goal-scorer?
This Saturday, Eli Junior Kroupi continued to reveal himself to England and Europe.
In the match against a very solid Crystal Palace side, the 2024-25 Ligue 2 Player of the Season celebrated his first start of the season... and in some style.
The 19-year-old forward simply bagged a brace in the first half, putting up monster stats for his age.
With three goals in 61 minutes this season, Kroupi has the best ratio in the Premier League with a goal every 21 minutes.
Even better, since the start of last season, the former Merlu has scored 26 goals, more than any other player under 20.
According to Opta, he has also become the second-youngest Frenchman in history to net a brace in the Premier League, behind Nicolas Anelka.
