His versatility has been an asset this season, as Perez has played on the right, through the center and even through the left. However, he has been most impressive through the right, where he has scored 9 goals.
The Spaniard is blessed with good technical abilities and likes to dribble. He uses his speed and skills to beat his marker on the pitch; he has average 1.3 dribbles per game so far.
However, Perez’s main strength is his finishing abilities and he even has a hattrick this season, against Southampton in April. The attacker has registered 1.5 shots per game on an average. The 25-year-old also likes to track back and tackle, but often gives away too many fouls. This season, he has averaged 1.7 tackles and 1.2 fouls per game.

Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
