He's 25 years old this year.
At first I wasn't impressed with him, even if he scored the penalty against Barcelona. However when I watched on and on, I noticed the importnace of him. His form is still great even if he is not a top choice striker. He can score when on form. Zalayeta maybe a substitute, but he can prove u wrong if he performs on the pitch and scores. So who knows that he can win the "Player of the Month" award?
