Brest striker Steve Mounié is one of the pillars of his team, set to win the Champions League. The Beninese international has won the most aerial duels in Ligue 1 this season (94) Four of his five goals have been scored with headers and if we extend the statistic to his entire professional career, the proportion is almost 50%.
The 29-year-old center forward is taking his time to study it with a cool head, but is taking the time to discover Europe, and perhaps also discover, perhaps also Europe, for two years at a time. The striker has adapted to sharing the position with the Uruguayan Satriano, on loan from Inter Milan, since the start of the season. He has scored 34 goals out of 70 (excluding penalties) in high altitude, which makes him dependent on the activities around him, and which somewhat masks all his contribution to the collective balance of the group. “Steve is certainly the most placid, quiet guy, with a well-placed ego, sure of his qualities, of his strengths but who never adds to it. He’s a real fighter,” emphasized his trainer Eric Roy.
