Ernest Poku is a 22-year-old CF at Bayer Leverkusen who thrives by exploiting space in behind with his exceptional pace and acceleration. He possesses strong technical ability, comfortable taking on defenders and carrying the ball forward. Poku carries the profile of an introverted, competitive player, but his mental pillar is currently limited. A key risk for his development is his inconsistent tempo, which can hinder his involvement in sustained attacking phases. His recent move to Leverkusen suggests the club sees potential in his direct attacking threat.
