Alarcón shining in the Netherlands, eyes set on national team | OneFootball

Ángel Alarcón stood out again in the Eredivisie by scoring for Utrecht in the 1-1 draw with Zwolle. The forward, on loan from FC Porto until the end of the season, was named man of the match in Sunday's game and was included in the team of the week, confirming his excellent form.

The 21-year-old Spaniard, trained at Barcelona, opened the scoring in the 12th minute, reinforcing the positive impressions since his arrival in the Dutch league, after having played only six games for the Dragons and nine for the B team, without goals this season. This was his second goal – along with an assist – for the Dutch club in just five matches.

His consistent performances are putting him on the radar of the Spanish under-21 national team, coached by David Gordo. According to Mundo Deportivo, the national team officials have been following him for some time, and his recent performance – two goals and an assist in 350 minutes – makes his call-up in March increasingly likely.

Alarcón scored his first goal spectacularly two weeks ago, in the 3-1 victory over NEC Nijmegen, finishing a counterattack with a brilliantly executed chip.
