Frantzdy Pierrot, born March 29, 1995 in Bas-Limbé, Haiti, embodies the quintessence of talent and determination. Currently, he plays for Maccabi Haifa in Israel, where he shines with his impressive offensive play. With 97 goals in 240 matches, he is just three goals away from his hundredth career strike, a remarkable feat for this Haitian prodigy. Here are 10 very well-known players (of the same age, close to his age and even taller) of whom Pierrot reached this number before them.

1. Marco Asensio: Marco Asensio Willemsen, born January 21, 1996 in Palma, Spain, is an attacking midfielder for Paris Saint-Germain. Former Madrid player, winner of the Champions League. Despite his talent, his 79 goals in 435 matches fell short of Pierrot’s performances.

2. Julian Draxler : Born September 20, 1993 in Gladbeck, Germany, Draxler plays in Qatar for Al Ahli SC. World champion with Germany in 2014, he has 73 goals in 488 matches, far from Pierrot’s statistics.

3. Kingsley Coman : Born June 13, 1996 in Paris, Coman plays winger for Bayern Munich. With 72 goals in 374 matches, he is a renowned player, but Pierrot clearly surpasses him in terms of goals scored.

4. Jack Grealish : Born September 10, 1995 in Birmingham, England, Grealish plays for Manchester City where he won the Champions League. With 53 goals in 392 games, he is a talented player, but still far from Pierrot’s achievements.

5. Divock Origi : Born on April 18, 1995 in Ostend, Belgium, Origi plays for Nottingham Forest. He won the Champions League in 2019 after notably an unforgettable double against Barça. Despite his exploits at Liverpool, with 73 goals in 413 games, he is surpassed by Pierrot.

6. Joaquin Correa: Born August 13, 1994 in Argentina, Correa plays for Olympique de Marseille. With 67 goals in 395 matches, he is a talented player, but does not reach Pierrot’s performance. He won the Copa America and the Finalissima with Argentina

7. Thomas Lemar : Born on November 12, 1995 in Baie-Mahault, Guadeloupe, Lemar plays for Atlético de Madrid. With 38 goals in 376 games, he is a respected player, but nowhere near Pierrot’s level in terms of goals.

8. Adam Traore : Born on January 25, 1996 in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, Spain, Traoré plays for Fulham FC. With 29 goals in 385 games, he is a dynamic striker, but less prolific than Pierrot.

9. Raphinha : Born December 14, 1996 in Madagascar, Raphinha plays for FC Barcelona. With 82 goals in 339 games, he is a talented player, but Pierrot maintains his advantage in terms of goals scored.

10. Douglas Costa : Born September 14, 1990 in Brazil, Costa plays for Fluminense FC. Despite his 82 goals in 581 matches, he is ahead of Pierrot in terms of statistics.
