The recently closed summer transfer window could become a memorable one for FC Barcelona as they signed several high-quality players during this time. Among the players signed by Barcelona in this window is Vitor Roque, who is one of the most exciting talents in the world of football currently.

While his signing has been concluded, Vitor Roque has not yet arrived in Barcelona and is expected to join the Catalan club only in January. This has allowed the player to have some more continuity with Athletico Paranaense, and Roque is taking full advantage of this continuity by playing a leading role in his team’s efforts for the Brazilian league title charge.

Roque continues with his scoring form

As SPORT reports, Vitor Roque has scored yet another goal in his latest appearance for Athletico Paranaense. With this goal, the youngster continues his golden goalscoring form, as he has now scored three goals in his last three games. He is now also closer to the top of goal charts in Brazil and is only two goals behind the leader, Tiquinho Soares of Botafogo.

The difference maker for his team

What is even more important for his club is that all these goals have also been highly decisive for Paranaense. These three goals have directly contributed to the Brazilian club avoiding three defeats. Against Goias, Roque scored the first goal of the match. Then against Fluminense, he scored a goal in injury time to equalize the scores.

In the latest match against Atletico Mineiro, the Brazilian once again scored in the 79th minute to bring his side level after they had gone down in the first half. The match ended 1-1, thanks to Roque’s goal, and thus he was able to salvage a point for his team in a difficult match.

Now, with his last goal, Roque has scored twenty goals for Paranaense in 2023. He has also given eight assists in this time, making him one of the most complete and decisive players in Brazil despite his young age.
