In the West people call him "New Drogba", how efficient is this tall striker's goal scoring? Until February, the Dutch League scored 16 goals and 6 assists in 20 games, and the Champions League played 7 games with 11 goals and 2 assists...

"New Warcraft" who has not played for the top giants
Aler has been mixed up in low-level teams early in his career, somewhat similar to Drogba, but he was born in France. When his early citizenship was still French, Aler was trained by the French second division Auxerre club, and in 2015, he was signed by a weak team in the Dutch first division, which was the team he became famous for - Utrecht.
In just two seasons, Aler excelled in the Dutch First Division, signing in 2017 with Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga. The then-obscure player and two other grassroots strikers, Rebic and Jovic, formed the trident that shook Europe. With the help of the super offensive firepower of the front, Frankfurt almost eliminated Chelsea at one point and reached the europa league final that season.
Later, the Trident all left the team, Rebic went to AC Milan, Jovic went to Real Madrid, only Aler did not land on the big team, he signed the Premier League team West Ham United for 50 million.
Frustrated in the Premier League, he returned to the Dutch First Division
Like the Ukrainian striker YalmoLunko, who west Ham brought in from the Bundesliga before, al-Aarer from the Bundesliga once again disappointed the Hammers fans. With 14 goals and three assists in 54 Premier League games, the striker is far less efficient than during the Eintracht Frankfurt and Utrecht era. However, during his time at West Ham, he made an important decision: to renounce his French citizenship and join the Ivory Coast national team.
In the winter window of 2021, Aler left West Ham to return to the Dutch League, but this time he joined the Dutch giants Ajax. However, in the early days of the transfer, there was a oolong incident: the Ajax executive forgot to register Aler, resulting in the newly introduced striker not qualifying for the Europa League that season.
Shine in the Champions League
The paper can't contain the fire, and only half a season of missing the Europa League can't hide the killer nature of "New Drogba". Aller shined in the Champions League in the 21-22 season. In the group stage, he helped Ajax beat Borussia Dortmund, swept at Sporting Lisbon and Besiktas to qualify first in the group, Aler scored 10 goals in 6 games, and once staged a senior year, leading the Champions League top scorer list.
In the first leg of the knockout match against Benfica, he was the protagonist at both the offensive and defensive ends, scoring oolong goals and then helping the team score. With 11 goals in 7 games, it is no wonder that Zhang Lu suggested that the La Liga giants sign this striker when he was commenting on the Barca match!
