Sadiq with another golazzo!

wow.

Exactly.
You see this long range shooting thing, nor be beans.

There aren’t too many SE long range goals that come to mind, no matter how far back we go. Onuachu (on his debut), Iheanacho (set pieces) Yekini, Okocha, Oliseh…. probably a few more.
If we have this kind of weapon in our arsenal we don’t have to rely on ‘fox-in-the-box’ type of strikers or fast breakaways for our goals.
It gives us an option we haven’t really had in a long while. I might be wrong but at least in the last 30 years, Yekini is the only striker I recall that consistently scored from long range shooting for both club (Vitoria Setubal) and country.

Tbh, I’ve always wondered why this is the case, especially when I watch some of these scrawny players in Europe shooting deadly missiles from 30 yards out.

Ever heard of a guy named Obafemi Martin's?

Yup.
Awesome player but greatly underrated in my opinion.
