"Born in Bissau, Guinea-Bissau, Franculino blazed youth football in Portugal at Benfica and was snapped up by Midtjylland in 2023 as a 19-year-old. He's fast become the best player in Scandinavian football right now, combining the frame and gait of a classy winger with the ruthlessness of a predator in the final third. But if it's statistics that move you, his are impressive."
Franculino Gluda Dju is a 21-year-old Bissau-Guinean forward who moved from Benfica's academy to FC Midtjylland in 2023. He plays as a centre-forward and right-winger, prefers his left foot, and stands 1.82m tall. He has scored 54 goals in 103 appearances for Midtjylland, including 13 in 26 European fixtures and 38 in 72 league matches, and started the current season with 16 goals in 17 Superliga games. His strengths include high-volume shooting and sharp striker instinct, explosive acceleration over the first 10 yards, the ability to generate separation, and clinical finishing in the final third.
