Dimo Naydenov Bakalov
Dimo Naydenov Bakalov uses sharp runs to attack space, often drifting wide to threaten the channel and then cutting inside to finish.

He moved to Ludogorets in 2011, winning titles and playing in European qualifiers. A peak season came at Lokomotiv Plovdiv in 2017-18 with nine league goals. In later years he filled central and deeper roles while maintaining wide help, linking play with one-touch layoffs. Bakalov presses high and shields the ball to drive attacks, finishing moves when space opens. Dimo Bakalov remains a forward presence who can be trusted to attack the back post.
