He is the be-all and end-all

Only Gloukh is “Oscar-ready” in offense

He is the be-all and end-all in the attacking play of runners-up Red Bull Salzburg: Oscar Gloukh. Last season, the 20-year-old impressed with 27 goals in 40 games. This year, he is well on his way to achieving similar figures. However, he is outpacing the competition within the team

That's strong! Oscar Gloukh has scored seven goals (five goals, two assists) in his five games in the Austrian top flight in 2024/25, putting him top of the Bundesliga table. The attacker has not yet earned himself an award. But these statistics are certainly Oscar-worthy, or rather "Oscar-worthy".

Even more so when you compare them with his team-mates. Moussa Yeo (three goals), Dorgele's Nene (two) - the magic has gone out of the "Malian magicians" in recent weeks - and Karim Konate (1) are three short of Gloukh. In Konate's case, however, it should be added that he has been out for six weeks due to a knee injury. The top scorer will also have to improve, and not just in comparison with Gloukh.

Enough worries off the pitch
His performances should also be highly valued because he has completely different worries. Almost a year ago, Hamas terrorists attacked his home country of Israel (October 7). The region is badly shaken. Gloukh doesn't really like to comment on this publicly. Understandably so. He much prefers to let his actions speak for themselves on the pitch.
