Argentina might just have another gem in the making, and his name is Joaquin Panichelli. The young striker has been lighting up Ligue 1 this season, becoming one of the most talked-about players in French football. Panichelli once again found the back of the net for RC Strasbourg, extending his remarkable goal-scoring streak and putting the football world on notice.
At just 21, Panichelli has already scored 10 goals in 13 matches, including six consecutive games on the scoresheet. Those numbers don’t just make him Strasbourg’s hero, they make him Ligue 1’s top scorer so far, ahead of several big-name stars.
What’s even more impressive is how quickly he’s adapted to life in France. Known for his sharp movement, clinical finishing, and relentless energy, Panichelli has become the heartbeat of Patrick Vieira’s attack, helping Strasbourg punch above their weight this season.
The internet is buzzing, and fans are already asking the big question: could this form earn Panichelli his first-ever call-up to the Argentina national team? With the 2026 World Cup qualifiers on the horizon, Lionel Scaloni might just be tempted to test the Strasbourg striker alongside names like Lautaro Martínez and Julián Álvarez.
