Monaco building for the future with Golovin as creative hub

Monaco’s ambitious youth project is taking shape, with Aleksandr Golovin established as the creative fulcrum of a side that could challenge for Ligue 1 honours within two seasons.

The Russian international has been in outstanding form this campaign, contributing 8 goals and 12 assists from his advanced midfield role. His vision and passing range have drawn comparisons with some of Monaco’s greatest midfield talents.

The club’s strategy of developing young talent around Golovin’s creativity mirrors the approach that brought them the Ligue 1 title in 2017.
