Valentin Mihăiță Mihăilă

V. Mihăilă is Çaykur Rizespor’s Bronze Sniper. The Romanian wide forward, 26 years old and right-footed, has built a reputation as a penalty-box finisher rather than a touchline winger. No trophies on the shelf yet, but this chapter on the Black Sea is all about proving he can live off goals in a demanding league.

The season picture is clear: 3 goals across 11 appearances and 445 minutes tells you he turns limited time into impact. Around two shots per 90 and a recent run of 2 goals and 1 assist show a player on an upward trajectory. His current form sits well above his base season ability, so this is a genuine hot streak rather than background noise. On the pentagon, Shooting is the standout by a distance; passing and defensive work are modest, but that only sharpens his profile as a pure finisher. The THREAT badge fits: when he receives it around the box, defenders know a shot is coming and it usually tests the keeper.

The bigger question is what comes next. With a stable market value around €3M, he sits in that zone where a few clutch goals in a crunch match can flip the narrative. If he keeps this conversion up with more minutes, he becomes not just a squad option but a reference point in Rizespor’s attack.
