Farioli expects more from Deniz Gul and Terem Moffi up front | OneFootball

Deniz Gül and Terem Moffi are the two strikers Francesco Farioli has available at FC Porto until the end of the season, due to the long-term injuries to Samu Aghehowa and Luuk de Jong. Even so, neither forward is going through a particularly positive spell wearing the dragon on his chest.

The Turkish player scored his last Primeira Liga goal on October 27, in the win over Moreirense. From then on, he only found the net on three more occasions, but in other competitions, namely the Portuguese Cup, the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, and the Europa League. In total, he has 38 appearances in 2025/26 and five goals.

As for the Nigerian, he arrived on loan from Nice and has also made his mark in the blue-and-white shirt. However, his last — and only — league goal came in the 3-1 win over Arouca on February 27. He also scored in the Europa League, against Stuttgart. Overall, he has 10 appearances, two goals, and one assist.

Since Samu’s injury, FC Porto’s two forwards have scored just one league goal between them. It has now been 20 matchdays since Deniz Gül’s last goal in the Liga Portugal. These are clearly numbers well below expectations.

Francesco Farioli will have to find a solution so that FC Porto’s strikers can return to scoring more regularly, even while carrying out other duties on the pitch, so they can help the Dragons in the fight to win the Primeira Liga.
