Samed Yesil – Analysis of the Under 21 Striker FEATURED After signing for a reported €1m from German giants Bayer Leverkusen, many tipped striker Samed Yesil to be successful at Liverpool and prove to be a perfect addition to Brendan Rodgers’ squad in the future, but after an injury stricken first season at the Merseyside club, will Yesil turn out to be the striker that everyone thought he would be? In this feature on the German striker, we analyse his strengths and weaknesses, as well as determining what action the club must take in order to make Yesil a better player. Yesil blasted onto the scene in 2010, where he scored 22 goals in just 24 matches that season for Bayer Leverkusen, however his goalscoring ability did not stop there. During his time at Leverkusen from 2010 to 2012, Yesil scored 57 goals in only 71 matches, meaning that he would on average score a goal every 114 minutes, emphasising that he is a natural-born striker and is a prolific goalscorer. His confidence in front of goal earned him a call up to the Germany Under 16 side, and since then has featured for the Germany Under 17s, Under 18s, and Under 19s sides, where his impressive goalscoring record continues. In his 32 International appearances for the German Youth teams, Yesil has scored 31 goals, scoring eight of those in only six games for Germany Under 19s so far, before rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament whilst on duty for them. @ATL
