Pepi is the textbook second striker — efficient, in-box, ready off the bench. If a knockout game is tied at 70 minutes, he’s Pochettino’s first call.
Strengths
- finishing in the six-yard box
- movement to create separation in the box
- impact-sub composure
Recent form
Regular minutes at PSV through 2025-26; strong goals-per-90.
