Spanish press 'picks' its favorite LA Galaxy player this season

The Diario AS, a prominent Spanish press outlet, has recently published an article highlighting the remarkable performance of Dejan Joveljić with the LA Galaxy in the early stages of the 2024 MLS season.

According to journalist Tom Bogert, who shared the statistics on his X account, Joveljić currently leads the pack with 4.0 non-penalty xG accumulated over 304 minutes of play. This impressive figure places him ahead of notable names like Christian Benteke, Leo Campana, Cucho, and Denis Bouanga.

The article on the Diario AS website recounts Joveljić's recent goal-scoring achievement, noting, "It took just two minutes for Dejan Joveljić to find the back of the net last weekend." This goal was the result of a swift LA Galaxy counter-attack initiated by Riqui Puig's vision, followed by precise interplay from Julian Aude and Diego Fagúndez, culminating in a clinical finish by Joveljić.

Furthermore, the Diario AS article acknowledges Joveljić's development since his arrival at the Galaxy from Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt in 2021.

While his talent has always been evident, his consistency in scoring MLS goals has been sporadic. However, with the departure of Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez during the off-season, Joveljić now has the opportunity to establish himself as the linchpin of the Galaxy's dynamic attack.

Joveljić's performance has undoubtedly captured international attention, underscoring his growing influence and contribution to the LA Galaxy's success in the MLS. As he continues to excel on the field, Joveljić's presence promises to be a key factor in the Galaxy's pursuit of victory in the ongoing MLS season.
