Hamza reinforces his case with three preseason goals

Hamza Abdelkarim continues to earn minutes with Barcelona under Hansi Flick. The Egyptian striker, 18 years old, scored this Sunday in the penultimate preseason friendly, entering off the bench after half-time replacing Gordon and taking up the number nine position.

Just four minutes after coming on the pitch, the young forward finished acrobatically from a left-wing cross by Adeyemi to put Barça ahead. With this goal, Hamza has now scored three times in preseason, as reported by Mundo Deportivo, making him the team's top scorer during this preparation phase.

A rising prospect for the German coach

The attacker's evolution is remarkable considering he arrived on loan from Al-Ahly in January and the club has already exercised his purchase option, set at just 1.5 million plus variables. The Egyptian international was the first player to report back this summer, forgoing his holidays after participating in the World Cup with his national team.

Adeyemi opened the scoring in the first half, but Hamza steals the spotlight with his efficiency. Despite not playing in the Udine triangular tournament and not being a regular starter, his numbers are difficult for Flick to ignore. His performance in these friendlies positions him as a reliable attacking alternative, regardless of any moves the club makes to strengthen the forward line.
