He admits that his « beautiful strike » is one of his greatest qualities. This has not always worked for him during the 2016/17 season. An all-round midfielder and able to ply his trade in front of the back-four, Wylan Cyprien is making great performances on a regular basis at the moment. This is backed up by the numbers. An arrival in the summer, the former-Lens captain has played 23 matches out of 24 in the league this season (22 starts), has got 3 assists and 6 goals (plus one in the Europa League against Krasnodar). Half of them have been from outside the box. Take a look at the images below.
