Yaser Asprilla finally finding his form at Girona
After enduring criticism since his arrival, Colombian forward Yaser Asprilla is proving to be a difference-maker for Girona, scoring every 67 minutes.
After a difficult start and mounting pressure, Yaser Asprilla has finally become a key influence for Girona. The 22-year-old Colombian, the most expensive signing in the club's history, is currently showcasing his quality in the Segunda División, having netted five goals in just 335 minutes of play.
Asprilla is currently maintaining a scoring rate of one goal every 67 minutes, putting him just one goal behind the league's top scorer, Enric Gallego. His recent form under coach Quique Álvarez has allowed him to secure a starting spot and regain his status as a vital part of the team's attack.
The player's journey at Girona has not been easy. Since his arrival in August 2024, he struggled to find consistency under Míchel Sánchez and spent time on loan at Galatasaray. Returning to the club following their relegation has provided a fresh start for the young forward.
Former teammate Pau López noted that Asprilla's talent was never in doubt, but he is now finally realizing his potential on the pitch. Having switched his jersey number from 10 to 22, Asprilla has left the weight of past expectations behind, with teammates suggesting he is playing at a level above the current division.
