Is Charalampos Kostoulas the Premier League’s Next Unstoppable Prodigy?
That’s not to say there are no shortcomings to his game. Kostoulas is guilty of rushing his shot selection. Four big chances missed ranks among the top 10 players in the division. The decision-making has also been pulled up. Of the 23 attempted dribbles, only nine have been successful, resulting in a 39.1 per cent dribble success rate. He’s been dispossessed 10 times and made 15 unsuccessful first touches resulting in a turnover in possession.
At 19 years of age, however, these rough edges are to be expected. They are areas that will be smoothed out over time.
As the Seagulls continue to soar, so too does the youthful Greek frontman, who has taken the rapid progression to first-choice striker for an in-form Premier League team in his stride. There’s an argument to be made that Kostoulas is the division’s best young player. You’d be hard pressed to find anyone who disagrees with that sentiment.
