I<\/span>It’s only a matter of time before Europe’s biggest teams take aim at Armando Gonz\u00e1lez’s play, and according to Spanish media outlet Sport, Barcelona were the first to reveal the details surrounding the Chivas striker. It was clear that the scoring streak of “Hormiga” (“Anto”) with Gabriel Milito (23 “anime” style celebrations in 33 matches) would eventually end up on the table of the sporting directors of Europe’s strongest teams.<\/p>\n

Spanish sports media have even compared the 22-year-old striker to Lamine Yamal’s statistics, claiming that the Mexican has better predictive power than the Spanish attacker among U23 scorers.<\/p>\n

His 22 goals in the league and the goals he scored in the League Cup caught the attention of La Liga leaders. They were looking to invest in a proven young player to compensate for the poor contract they had with Vitor Roque, but things didn’t go to plan and the Brazilian ended up breaking his loan deal with Real Betis to join Palmeiras.<\/p>\n

It is also worth noting that since Milito arrived on the Chivas bench, the explosion caused by ‘Hormiga’ has been so influential that scouts from the Premier League, Bundesliga and Serie A have taken an interest in his qualities.<\/p>\n

According to Sport, Barcelona have taken a step forward to better understand Gonzalez’s performance in soccer, beyond his vast statistical numbers.<\/p>\n

MARCA even published an opinion that “Hormiga” of the Mexican national team should be number 9 at the next World Cup. There is a valid argument to be made that a player who is in his best moments should play for El Tri, and the same is true for this young player who has an unlimited future ahead of him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
