Serhou Guirassy’s rise to the highest of the Bundesliga goalscoring charts is one thing nobody had anticipated. After a journeyman profession that took him throughout France and Germany, Guirassy landed in Stuttgart in 2022 on the age of 26. His $10 million switch tag on the time of the switch has nearly quadrupled resulting from his prolific goalscoring nature. Linked with Chelsea, Bayern, Tottenham, and Fulham, Guirassy has been one of many hottest subjects of this season.
However why has this “unknown” striker out of the blue burst into the mainstream? What makes him so particular? And the way can Champions League groups revenue from his presence?
Why he’s succeeding at Stuttgart
Guirassy isn’t a very “unknown” striker. He discovered success in Ligue 1 with Rennes in 2020-22, scoring 25 objectives in 81 appearances. He led the entrance line in Rennes’ Champions League marketing campaign in 2020 alongside Jeremy Doku, Edouardo Camavinga, Edouard Mendy, and Raphinha. Guirassy gained relevance as a strong hold-up participant who might rating from tight angles and even pull a trick or two out of his hat. He was in comparison with Moussa Dembélé and Romelu Lukaku.
He exploded partly as a result of he had extra taking part in time and alternatives than ever. At Rennes, he competed with Gaëtan Laborde, who wolfed up taking part in time in Ligue 1. Nonetheless, at Stuttgart, Guirassy performed an enormous position in his two seasons.
Stuttgart normally strains up with two wingers, an attacking midfielder, and a center-forward. Stuttgart coach Sebastian Hoeneß has the wingers, Silas and Chris Führich, merely stick out extensive, full dribbles throughout the sideline, and make a whole lot of crosses, one thing that will solely be widespread 50 years in the past. The attacking midfielder, Enzo Milliot, additionally completes a whole lot of crosses, and his principal objective is to hyperlink the assault with the midfield, he does rather a lot to create probabilities for Guirassy. At Stuttgart, Guirassy is the middle of the offense.
This offensive system is the explanation why he has over 1 / 4 of the group’s complete photographs (31), over half of the group’s objectives (14), and a 3rd of the group’s photographs on course (17). Though the strategies differ, the outcomes are the identical; Guirassy has change into the Bundesliga’s new Haaland. Up to now, defenses have been unable to regulate him, with top-tier squads like Dortmund and Union Berlin. His good kind appears set to proceed.
What to anticipate
Guirassy suffered a hamstring damage in Stuttgart’s win over Union Berlin, lacking an excellent month of motion. He returned to motion in a 2-1 win over Dortmund, scoring a purpose in simply 23 minutes performed. He’ll positively come again at full power following this worldwide break.
His Transfermarkt worth has skyrocketed from $10 million in the summertime to $40 million, with practically each massive membership linked with the Guinean goalscorer. It seems doubtless Stuttgart will money out on Guirassy resulting from their harmful monetary state, so groups can begin putting their bids as quickly as July.
Stuttgart is third in Bundesliga, and will definitely contend for a top-four spot within the Bundesliga. They’ve an actual probability of contending for a Champions League berth, their first look in 15 years.
Whether or not or not Guirassy can be there for these Champions League matches carrying a Stuttgart shirt, it’s unlikely given his present observe report.
