Jeremy de Leon’s playing style

Leon is a free-floating speedster who plays on the wings. He aims to create gaps and openings with his quick, off-the-ball movements. Regarding the dribbling and the last third, not much can be stated because this season the attacker has not scored any goals and has only provided one assist in his 11 appearances for the team in the third division of the Spanish League.

With players like Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo, Real Madrid possesses one of the most lethal wing attacks in the world. With the addition of Endrick, the team appears to have a settled front line for the next five to six years. De Leon’s purchase is perceived as an effort to develop De Leon and add him as an alternative player.
