Is Charalampos Kostoulas the Premier League’s Next Unstoppable Prodigy?
It’s no secret that Hurzeler’s Brighton likes to press high and aggressively. One of their key routes to goal is to force opposition turnovers in dangerous positions. They rank top for possession won in the attacking third (51) in the Premier League this season, and it’s not even close. Bournemouth are their closest competitors. The Cherries have done so 37 times.
And leading the pressing charge is none other than Kostoulas himself, the Greece international having done so 12 times. There’s buying into Hurzeler’s gameplan, and there’s essentially proving the – almost – perfect forward for the system. Standing at 6ft1in, he’s the right size and stature to provide the focal point in a favoured 4-2-3-1 setup.
