Steve Mounie

Since joining for around £11m from Montpellier, Mounie has had fortunes in his first two seasons at the John Smith’s Stadium.

He netted a respectable total of nine goals in all competitions in 2017/18 but has failed to score in 13 Premier League appearances in 2018/19.

Despite this, he is a formidable presence in the air and has won the second-most aerial duels in the top-flight this campaign with 7.3 per game (according to whoscored.com).

Mounie is expected to return to fitness for tomorrow’s clash against Saints and will need to be marked well as the focal point of the home sides attacks.
