Roberto Fernández draws Manchester City comparisons after LaLiga scoring streak

Espanyol striker Roberto Fernández has emerged as a standout performer in LaLiga, scoring five goals in the first five matches of the season. His rapid form has drawn significant praise from Espanyol manager Manolo González.

During a press conference, González suggested that if the 24-year-old maintains this scoring average, he could be playing for Manchester City by next year. The manager noted that such consistent scoring is rare for players outside of major clubs like Barcelona, Real Madrid, or Atlético de Madrid.

Fernández previously had a quiet period at Sporting de Braga, where he scored only two goals in 30 appearances after joining for 1.8 million euros. Following his move to Espanyol, his value has increased, with the club having invested millions to secure portions of his transfer rights.
