Munoz a natural fit for Liverpool

[Getty Images] Victor Munoz doesn't have the headline numbers that grab attention but look a little closer and you can see exactly why Andoni Iraola wants him at Anfield. In a side that finished 17th in La Liga, he still completed 75 dribbles — the fourth-highest in the division, sitting just behind Real Madrid's superstar Kylian Mbappe and ahead of Nico Williams at Athletic Club. That's elite company for a 22-year-old Spanish forward who often operates from deeper, ball-carrying pockets. Where the data really pops is in his ability to move a team up the pitch. Munoz logged 318 progressive carries, the ninth‑most in La Liga, rubbing shoulders with Vinicius Junior, Lamine Yamal and Pedri on a list usually dominated by high‑usage attackers and full‑backs. For a player in a struggling side, that's a serious indicator of how much responsibility he took on. The end product is still developing — six goals and two assists across 34 league games — but the underlying profile is what Liverpool are buying into: a press‑resistant carrier who creates momentum, breaks lines off the dribble and consistently gets his team into the final third. In a squad known for intensity and forward thrust, Munoz looks a natural fit. [BBC]
