On Sunday, Rayan attempted 4+ non-penalty shots in a single game for the 9th time this season, only Hulk can match him.

But, this time, there was something different. These shots were not like the others. This display was not like the others. Find out why in Monday Night SCOUTED:

You've likely never heard of him, but Tristan Crama is having an outstanding season at Millwall. Dominating his box, winning 80% of his aerial duels, playing forward with composure: the 23-year-old centre-back will be flashing up on Premier League clubs' radars.

Fully recovered from an ACL injury, 22-year-old Rafiu Durosinmi is scoring goals again in Czech and European football: he has nine in 17 so far this season for Viktoria Plzeň, one every 125 minutes, dominaiting the box. Want a co-sign? Eintracht Frankfurt had all but signed him before the injury.

Robin Roefs is fast becoming a slam dunk signing for Sunderland. Played every Premier League minute so far, made crucial saves in crucial results, takes pressure off his team with claims and kicks, and the fans adore him. He cost a smidge over £10 million. Bargain, bargain, bargain.

Robin Roefs was the only goalkeeper to keep a clean sheet in the Premier League this past weekend. Based on the shots on target he faced, he was expected to concede two goals. He even assisted two shots. Ridiculous.

El Hadji Malick Diouf’s crosses are hands down one of the best things about the Premier League season so far. The whip and dip and speed and accuracy he consistently gets on them is mental.

Wolves' Fer López showcased his excellent weight of pass for his first Premier League assist: a deft bump-and-run ball, first time off the set from Tolu Arokodare, into the path of Krejčí's third-man run from deep to finish with his first touch.

One of his outstanding skills. Quality.

Divine Mukasa is making the subs' bench for Manchester City every week now. He was an emerging prospect we were really keen to see what was planned for them this season—and it looks like plenty of first team involvements and some minutes here and there. Top-level talent with a dynamic skillset.

Stade Rennais' Mohamed Kader Meïté is maybe the most exciting centre-forward prospect in football right now. A jumbo-sized, 17-year-old striker that can do almost everything at the point of attack, his match-winning impact on Sunday night proved it.

It went viral; I analysed it play by play.

Mohamed Kader Meïté went viral for one clip in a 21-minute cameo last weekend.

Watch it in full and you'll be even more excited about the 17-year-old Stade Rennais centre-forward, one of the most exciting in Europe and symbol of the jumbo-sized striker. Llew Davies has analysed it, play by play.

Keep a close eye on Simon Mignolet and Eric Dier in particular. We think they will go on to have long careers in the Premier League, perhaps for clubs like Liverpool and Spurs, and become regular internationals at senior level.
