Granada have had a poor start to the season back in La Liga.
After getting promoted for the 23/24 season, the Spanish club are 2nd bottom in La Liga after 10 games with only one win on the board so far.
In a season with many negatives to discuss, one shining light has been the performance of winger Bryan Zaragoza.
The 22-year-old has been one of the brightest sparks in this year’s La Liga season.
The visualisation below shows where Zaragoza ranks for some critical metrics compared with the other left-wingers from Europe’s Tier-1 leagues.
Zaragoza has five goals and one assist to his name at the time of writing and is joint-second top for goals scored in La Liga so far, which is already equal with his goal tally from last season.
Zaragoza has also started more games for Granada this season in the league than last season.
Having come through Granada’s B team, Zaragoza can play on either side as a winger and also a centre-forward.
Zaragoza is one of the most exciting young players in the Spanish league right now.
A high-volume dribbler and excellent finisher, Zaragoza ranks above average for most attacking metrics, as seen in the visual above.
Looking at his defensive numbers, he does not work hard out of possession, though, which is an aspect he needs to improve upon.
Zaragoza brings speed, energy and a new dimension with his versatility to his team whenever he plays.
His unpredictability with the ball – whether he is going to cut in or he is going to take a shot makes him one of the most exciting players in the game.
Having already made his Spanish international debut recently, Zaragoza joins a long list of young Spanish wingers trying to make a name for themselves on the big stage.
