I really, really like Robinio Vaz. He has some of the fastest footwork (+ most efficient straight-line separation) you’ll see, in addition to a snappy finish.
Plus, he can shield the ball well and gets his head up at an abnormally high rate to scan and make sense of the keeper’s positioning.

Two things impress me most about Julián Alvarez:
1. The speed at which he sets himself up for a shot — a lot of steps (not good), but quick + nimble, meaning he gets there before CBs anyway
2. The speed at which his laces go through the ball (snap through the shot)
