GoalPost read
L. Waldschmidt is a striker in his prime, with recent form that showed well at 1. FC Köln. The value is held back because he is not a guaranteed starter and the league level pulls the price down.

Analysis overview
Waldschmidt is a penalty-box attacker who drifts inside from wider areas to attack the most dangerous pockets. He times his movement sharply, arrives early, and looks set to shoot almost before the chance has fully opened. The emphasis is on clean, decisive final actions rather than elaborate buildup.
