Victor Munoz has enjoyed a meteoric rise.
He spent the vast majority of last season playing in the Spanish third tier for Real Madrid's B-side. While he made six substitute appearances for the first team, including four at last summer's Club World Cup, he was offloaded last summer for 6m euros (£5.2m).
But he has quickly impressed with his direct style of play at Osasuna, where the media have dubbed him 'The Red Baron' on account of his ginger hair and dashing style. He completed 75 dribbles in La Liga in his debut season - a figure bettered only by Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Lamine Yamal.
Spain manager Luis de la Fuente says Munoz has "fantastic energy" and "lets us change the rhythm of a match".
He marked his national team debut by scoring nine minutes after coming on versus Serbia in March.
