Ernest Poku is Leverkusen's Bronze Sniper. A two-time UEFA Youth League winner before his move to Germany, the 22-year-old is building his body of work at the highest level as he integrates into one of Europe's most competitive squads.
Poku has demonstrated a sharp clinical edge, earning the SILVER BOOT badge for his contributions in the final third. With four goals across 17 appearances, he has proven his ability to find the net, though he is currently searching for rhythm as he goes through a quiet spell. Despite his identity as a finisher, a Passing score of 68 highlights a specialist level of link-up play that adds significant Balance to the Leverkusen attack. Having played 988 minutes, he is an established presence in the rotation, working to recapture the scoring touch he showed earlier in the campaign.
With a market value of €10M and a rising trend, the Stakes for Poku's development are high. His contract through 2030 reflects the club's confidence in his potential to become a decisive factor in the title race for years to come.
