Dani Olmo, Liga's highest scoring midfielder

With six goals from ten games, he is already just two short of his record for a season

Dani Olmo has landed on his feet at FC Barcelona. Rarely does a new signing settle into a team so quickly and have such an immediate impact. Theoretically a midfielder, he also plays a huge role in the attack. Against Brest on Tuesday we witnessed yet another example of this when he collected an assist from Gerard Martín and sped through the French defence before delivering the perfect finish to beat Marco Bizot and score the second goal of the night. 

 

That was his sixth goal for the team this year, making him the highest scoring midfielder in La Liga across all competitions. That's especially impressive considering he missed over a month of football through injury. 

Heading for personal best

With just ten official appearances thus far, Olmo is already just two goals short of his personal best for a season, the eight goals he scored for RB Leipzig in 25 matches last season.
