Quick Bio

Switzerland''s physical focal point up front, a strong, athletic striker who leads the line for Monaco. Embolo bullies defenders, holds the ball up and pops up with big goals — including a memorable one against his birth nation Cameroon in 2022. For an American comparison, he is the powerful, run-after-the-catch target striker who combines size and surprising mobility.
