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

Ángel Alarcón stood out once 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, who came up through Barcelona’s academy, opened the scoring in the 12th minute, reinforcing the good impressions he has made since arriving in the Dutch league, after having played only six games for the Dragons and nine for the B team this season, without scoring. This was his second goal – in addition to one assist – for the Dutch club in just five matches.

His consistent performances have put him on the radar of Spain’s under-21 national team, coached by David Gordo. According to Mundo Deportivo, the national team staff have been following him for some time, and his recent output – two goals and one assist in 350 minutes – makes his call-up in March increasingly likely.

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