Jeremy De Leon Player Profile
Jeremy De Leon was born March 18, 2004, in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The Puerto Rican player, who has now signed with the Real Madrid Castilla side, is a forward who is deployed on the wings and acts as a free floating speedster aiming to create spaces and gaps with his pacy and off-the-ball movement. Not much can be said about the dribbling part and the final third past as the forward has lacked goals this season and merely has a solitary assist in 11 appearances made for the side in the third tier Spanish League.
Real Madrid already boasts one of the deadliest wing-attack in the world with the likes of Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo in the fold and with the purchase of Endrick, they are already looking like a side settled up front for the next 5-6 years and the purchase of De Leon is seen as an attempt to nurture him and add him as a backup option.
