Emersonn

Emersonn reads the game without the ball impressively well for a forward his age, drifting into pockets of space just as a teammate is ready to find him rather than making the same run every time. He carries the ball forward with intent, driving directly at defenders instead of looking sideways for an easier option. He scored and created chances against strong opposition in French football before moving to England, which suggests his game travels beyond one league.

Young forwards who impress immediately in a new country often face a dip once opponents study them and adjust their defending. Emersonn is still adapting to the physical demands of English football, which asks more of a young attacker's body than French football does. Whether his early promise turns into sustained output once defenders work him out is the question every Ipswich supporter will be asking.
