Ricardo Pepi will be one of PSV's first signings in the summer of 2023. The American striker has joined from German club FC Augsburg, but he is no stranger to Eindhoven: during his loan spell at FC Groningen, he already scored against PSV. From the outset, his role is clear: to develop in the shadow of Luuk de Jong and be ready when the team needs him. And that is precisely what he does. Pepi quickly impresses with his unprecedented effectiveness. He scores in almost every substitute appearance and remains accurate as a starting player.
The 2024-2025 season ended prematurely due to injury, but his statistics speak for themselves: eighteen goals in 1,100 minutes of play. An average of one goal every 61 minutes.
An impressive return from a striker who has more than proven his worth.
