Hirving Lozano has been ripping apart trees in the Eredivisie this season with PSV Eindhoven.

Prior to his fiery start of 11 goals and 5 assists in 15 appearances this season - the best ever start a Mexican International has made outside of Mexico - Lozano shone brightly alongside his Mexican compatriots at the Confederations Cup.

This experience in Russia, a year before the World Cup Finals, could prove to be extremely valuable to him and his side this summer.

Lozano is a pacey and direct winger who plays on the left side with a talent for cutting in and striking with power. In a way, his ability can be compared to that of Arjen Robben, however, what Lozano lacks in terms of grace he makes up for in power.

His performances so far this season have helped his side to 13 wins in 14 games in the Eredivisie so far and has resulted in him being linked to Barcelona. There's nothing holding him back if he continues in this vein, and will be quite an exciting player to watch.
