Under Julen Lopeteugi, the coach who had the longest tenure and most profound impact on the team tactically during En-Nesyri’s Sevilla career, the team’s attack was largely predicated on crosses. As a lone striker, En-Nesyri was the perfect player for this offensive approach.

He has arguably one of the best leaps in football. His sheer athleticism in this respect can often be enough to get the better of defenders, as with a minimal running start he can ascend far higher than most defenders are capable of, as he showed to devastating effect in Morocco’s victory over Portugal in the 2022 FIFA World Cup. This allows En-Nesyri to be a varied aerial threat in the box, as he can both attack the space between defenders or pin one and trust his athleticism to get the better of them.

Sounds like the perfect Moyes striker.
