Scouting Report & Player Insights
Julio Enciso is a diminutive, left-footed Paraguayan attacker who thrives cutting inside from the right to dribble at defenders and strike at goal. Developed at Brighton, he has since moved to Strasbourg in Ligue 1, where he is looking to rediscover the explosive form that first earned him a big move to the Premier League. His game is built on close control, quick feet, and a willingness to shoot from distance, though defensive contribution and physical duels remain relative weaknesses. Injury setbacks have interrupted his progress at times, making consistent fitness a key factor in realizing his potential.
Became one of the youngest players to represent Paraguay's senior national team.
Moved to Brighton & Hove Albion as a teenager and scored a memorable long-range goal against Manchester City.
