Christian Ramirez has made an excellent start to his LA Galaxy career. This season, he has recorded three goals from six matches. Ramirez has scored all three goals in the last three matches.

He has so far looked like a threat down the wing with his trickery and speed. Oppositions often find him difficult to defend due to these attributes.
