'A dynamic forward player with goal-poaching instincts' - the view on reported Huddersfield Town target Sergi Enrich from a man in the know

Huddersfield Town are being linked with a possible move for Spanish striker Sergi Enrich, who plies his trade with Segunda outfit Numancia.

The 25-year-old, who came through the ranks at Real Mallorca, is also believed to be interesting Town's fellow Championship rivals Bolton Wanderers, Brighton and Hove Albion, Nottingham Forest and Sheffield Wednesday.

But what kind of striker are Town rumoured to be targeting?

We spoke to Spanish football writer Jamie Kemp to get the lowdown on Enrich and what he could potentially offer Town should they consider a deal.

Interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona

A product of Real Mallorca's 'cantera' (academy) who had offers from Real Madrid and Barcelona as a 13-year-old, it was just five years ago that a fresh-faced Enrich emerged on the Spanish scene for the island club.

After a pre-season in which he impressed incoming coach Michael Laudrup, the Dane surprisingly elected the youngster to lead the line against Real Madrid on the opening day of the 2010/11 campaign.

Things had moved fast for him, but they slowed equally as quickly in what was a tough season for his hometown club.

He spent the following season on loan with second division side Recreativo Huelva - scoring 7 times in 27 games - but it did little to facilitate a return home.

Instead Enrich was farmed out again on loan, this time to Madrid-based Alcorcón in the same division.

Another low-key period occurred, before in the summer of 2013 he was relocated to a new permanent home. And with Numancia he has found just that.

Enrich is a dynamic forward player, whose game is based primarily around his athleticism and goal-poaching instincts.

Unlike his perception as an island kid with taped wrists, spiky hair and often-illuminous boots, the 25-year-old doesn't shy away from the physical aspects of the game and rarely lets his opposition get away with an easy day at the office.

When his team are in possession, Enrich constantly looks to make penetrating runs in behind defences, while he is also prepared to drop off the backline and contribute to build-up play.

Opposingly, when out of possession, the Mallorcan is a willing presser from the front and possesses good work rate in order to help his team collectively.

Where can he improve?

In terms of improvements, Enrich's decision-making in attacking areas ideally needs to be refined.

He is largely at his best when being the final receiver or finisher, rather than being overly involved in any movement of the ball.

His quality of passing and game intelligence has hindered him in this regard, and it's something which he can hopefully rectify as he nears the prime of his career.

How has he fared this season?

The current campaign has been the pick of his journey to date.

His goalscoring record in 2014/15 stands at nearly a goal every two games, which is the best of any striker not playing for a top-six outfit.

After acquainting himself with Numancia last season, he has really kicked on in his second year at the club and established himself as one of most potent attacking threats in the division.

"I'm feeling good and I'm maturing as a player," Enrich told Spanish daily Marca around the turn of the year; coincidentally a period which yielded his most impressive form of the campaign.

He scored 8 goals in 7 games at the beginning of 2015, and despite seeing a drop-off in his haul as we move into the summer, his firepower has kept Numancia in with a shout of making the play-offs before the season's end.

How could he fit in?

The best form of his career has come playing as a lone striker the majority of the time, though Enrich isn't exclusively restricted to that.

It also depends on the personnel around him.

For example, Numancia's preferred system has been a 4-2-3-1 this season (with Enrich at the top), but he has also featured in 4-3-3 and basic 4-4-2 setups.

I would personally place more emphasis on the assets around him, as opposed to the system configured by the manager.

With Numancia, Enrich is fortunate enough to share attacking areas with one of the best playmakers outside of Spain's top flight in Julio Álvarez, while they also possess industrious wide players who can deliver balls into the box.

With these particular profiles of player, the 4-2-3-1 makes sense for Enrich and his record shows that. But speaking hypothetically, it wouldn't necessarily be the system that brings him success in the Championship.
