Description:
Borja Mayoral started out his career at the local Agrupación Deportiva Parla club, from which in 2007, he transferred to the great Real Madrid. He’s quickly reached star status at youth teams, scoring goals automatically. In the 14/15 season, he was called for the first time to join the first squad and sat on the bench during the La Liga game against Almeria. During the 15/16 pre-season, he was permanently added to the first squad and will most likely provide relief to Karim Benzema. He also was the best scorer and one of the best players at the 2015 UEFA European Under-19 Championship, where Spain stylishly strolled to win the title, showing to the world brilliant players, such as Borja, Dani Ceballos, Marco Asensio, Alfonso Pedraza, Mikel Merino or Jesús Vallejo.
Quotes:
“A powerful striker with bags of quality. He is comfortable using both feet and, although he has no problem finding the back of the net, he is an especially important player because of what he does without the ball. He has a great ability of exploiting space, which allows him to provide assists for the centre forward.He is an elegant player in terms of his passing ability and his movement around the pitch.”
