"After impressing as a deputy for club legend Luuk de Jong, Pepi has stepped up and delivered as PSV's attacking talisman with 11 goals in 22 appearances, including six of his last seven matches. But even when he's not scoring, he's still making his presence felt with his astute hold-up play, selfless off-the-ball runs and other skills."
"Pepi has drawn comparisons to ex-Mexico star Chicharito Hernandez thanks to his fox-in-the-box movement and superb positional IQ, capable of lacing his shots with the utmost fury as well as gracefully chiseling it into the back of the net. He's a hunter who's always on the lookout for his next kill, and he's been bagging his fair share of big game as of late, scoring against Liverpool, Napoli and Atletico Madrid over the past year."
Ricardo Pepi, 23, is a right-footed center-forward standing 1.85 m and currently playing for PSV Eindhoven. After establishing himself as a top MLS prospect with FC Dallas, Pepi overcame a slow start in Germany and produced 11 goals in 22 appearances for PSV, scoring in six of his last seven matches. His game features strong hold-up play, intelligent off-the-ball runs, and a high positional IQ reminiscent of Chicharito Hernandez. He can strike with power or finesse and has scored against elite clubs including Liverpool, Napoli and Atletico Madrid. Pace and off-the-ball movement are key strengths.
