Analysis overview
Gilson Benchimol is a straight-ahead striker who wants to live on the shoulder of the last defender. He is at his best when he can stretch a back line, make sharp runs across the channel, and arrive early rather than wait for the game to come to him. There is a developing edge to his game, but the profile is clear: a forward built to keep defenders honest and give an attack a constant vertical outlet.
