Ibrahim Aliyu
24-Year-Old

2025 Fantasy Outlook
Aliyu was the Dynamo's top scorer in 2024 with six strikes while also creating four assists. The 23-year-old Nigerian is dangerous with his high pressing style but inconsistent in execution. Following a strong spell over the summer, he closed the season without a goal in his final 15 starts. Once Nelson Quinones returns to the XI following his long-term injury, the hope for the Dynamo is attacking improvements across the board, and that means more production for Aliyu in 2025.
Active display in win
Aliyu had two off-target shots, created four chances, sent in four crosses (one accurate) and made four tackles (two won) during Saturday's 2-1 win over D.C. United.
ANALYSIS
Aliyu was a constant threat from the right flank, pacing his team in chances created while also having a couple finishes himself. Despite not appearing on the scoresheet this time, he still kept making an impact and showing once again why Columbus went after him after he didn't get the minutes he wanted at Houston in the beginning of the campaign.
