Ernest Poku
Ernest Poku attacks space with pace and direct runs, finding gaps behind the line. Ernest Poku emerges as AZ Alkmaar's breakout winger, roaring from academy to first-team duties. He thrives on speed and space. In 2021, Poku made his AZ Alkmaar professional debut against RKC Waalwijk. In 2023, he helped AZ to UEFA Youth League glory, scoring twice in the final. A turning point came with his first Eredivisie goal in April 2024 against NEC Nijmegen. International note: Netherlands U21 reached the semi-finals of the 2025 UEFA U21 Euro. At Bayer Leverkusen, Poku presses high and runs beyond the line, linking pace with decisive finishing moves.
