Santiago Gimenez is one of the great figures of Mexican football today. The 24-year-old striker plays for AC Milan. "Bebote" hasn't had much luck with goals, but Kyle Walker tried to explain the reason for his lack of scoring. The English full-back compared Gimenez to Julian Alvarez. In his first season with AC Milan, Santiago Gimenez didn't have an outstanding performance. The Mexican didn't shine in a Rossoneri side that also didn't look its best on the pitch. Walker believes the Mexican striker had a lot of pressure on his shoulders. "First of all, as a person he's fantastic; very friendly, he integrated with everyone and blended in with everyone. As a player, he was obviously on fire at Feyenoord and scoring a lot of goals. When he arrived at Milan, the club meant a lot to him and maybe he, in my opinion, was working too hard and things weren't coming as naturally to him as they did at Feyenoord," Walker told Fox Sports. Despite his scoring struggles this season, Santiago Gimenez has been valued for his effort on the field and the "dirty work" he makes as a striker. Kyle Walker compared the characteristics of "Bebote" to those of Argentine striker Julian Alvarez. "I think he's very similar to Julian Alvarez in how he plays. He's not a pure center forward, but he has the technical ability to produce some magic at any moment. He's willing to run for the team. He's very important to the team," he said. Kyle Walker highlighted that Santiago Gimenez would have enough quality to adapt to Premier League football. Walker currently plays for Burnley, but he has a great knowledge of English football, having played for Northampton, Sheffield United, Tottenham, Queens Park Rangers, Aston Villa, and Manchester City. "Many strikers don't really touch the ball, they score a goal and celebrate. As we know here at Burnley, this is a team game, and their work ethics would fit in," he concluded. This season, Santiago Gimenez has played 11 matches, including those in the Coppa Italia. In just over 700 minutes on the field,"Bebote" has only scored 1 goal and provided 2 assists.The Mexican has yet to score in Serie A.
