Endrik aims to play as a forward for Real Madrid
Brazilian forward Endrick has voiced his ambition to secure the center-forward role at Real Madrid upon his return to the club this summer. Currently excelling on loan at Lyon with 10 goal involvements in 13 appearances, the youngster has proven his readiness for elite competition despite the heavy tactical competition awaiting him in Madrid. Although he prefers the "number nine" position, Endrick remains open to any role on the pitch to ensure he contributes to the team's success. Amidst his rising form, Premier League side Arsenal is reportedly monitoring the striker, presenting a potential alternative should he struggle for consistent minutes in Spain.
Brazilian talented forward Endrick has revealed his preferred position on the pitch ahead of his return to Real Madrid this summer. The 19-year-old, who is currently on loan at French club Lyon, has clear plans for his future in Spain. This was reported by Goal.com reports.
The young forward spoke openly about his tactical outlook and how he can benefit the team. Despite strong competition at the Madrid club, the Brazilian sees his main role in the centre of attack.
“My favourite number is nine, and playing in the centre is the most comfortable for me. However, regardless of the position, I just want to get on the pitch,” Endrick said in his interview.
His versatility allows him to play in different positions, but his desire to operate as a central striker could present a selection issue for the coaching staff.
The move to the French championship has been beneficial for the player. Initially without enough playing time at Real Madrid under Xabi Alonso, Endrick has returned to his best form at Lyon.
He has contributed to 10 goals in his first 13 Ligue 1 matches, proving he is ready for top-level football.
Endrick's strong performances are also drawing the attention of other major clubs. In particular, London club Arsenal are monitoring the young Brazilian star with a view to strengthening their attacking line.
If Madrid cannot guarantee him enough playing time, a move to the Premier League cannot be ruled out.
