'What Lamine Yamal Lacks Is...'

'What Lamine Yamal Lacks Is...'

Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal has been told about the vital part of his game that is missing.

Despite being only 17 years old, the tricky attacker is regarded as one of the best players in the world in his position as a right winger.

Along with being a LALIGA and UEFA European Championship winner, the Barcelona native has also captured prestigious individual prizes such as the Kopa Trophy and the Golden Boy award.

While he may be regarded as world-class at his young age, Lamine Yamal is far from the finished product. One aspect of his game that has come into question is his goalscoring. The youngster has only scored six goals in the 18 appearances he has made in all competitions this season.

Josep Maria Minguella, the man who unearthed Lionel Messi for the Catalan giants, has revealed that until the superstar finds prolific form in front of goal, he will always lack something in his game.

"Barca play 70 per cent of the games against inferior opponents. Lamine lacks something… he doesn't have a goal, he doesn't have the goals he could have," the former agent turned pundit told Beteve.

"Raphinha, for example, has more. What Lamine does he does well, but he lacks. [Arjen] Robben, in his position, scored goals all over the place, because he would hook it with his left foot and shoot. An attacker has to score, otherwise he's missing something."
