Yáser Asprilla: The Next Superstar, Dubbed the New Jude Bellingham

While the 22-year-old Colombian has not yet made a significant impact at Girona, his time at Watford, albeit in the Championship, saw him being hailed as a player with immense potential. Watford even placed a hefty price tag of 35 million euros on him due to his promising future.

Flair and Bravado

Gianluca Nani, who served as Watford’s sporting director from late 2023 to mid-2024, remarked in 2024 about Asprilla: “The new Bellingham? I would say Asprilla. While he may not possess the physical strength of Bellingham, his game awareness is exceptional, and his first touch is remarkable.” Forbes further emphasized, “Asprilla possesses all the qualities to become a superstar. He demonstrates fantastic movement and game intelligence, capable of quick combinations or making runs behind defenses, effectively collaborating with teammates. Additionally, he showcases the flair and bravado expected from a South American attacking midfielder.”
