Tajon Buchanan
27-Year-Old
Villarreal
La Liga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Buchanan completed an odd journey, making a loan, and then permanent move to Inter and now returning to Spain with Villarreal. The wide midfielder has struggled to adapt since making the move to Europe, but he showed some flashes towards the end of last season, tallying three goal contributions in 413 minutes. Rumors have circled that he should be in for a larger role in the 2025/26 campaign, which should give him the chance to build on that efficient return to Spain. It's unlikely he continues anywhere near that efficiency, but with more minutes he could push for a handful of goals and assists during his fourth season in Europe. His main competition on the right flank will come from Nicolas Pepe, who should also get minutes as a striker, giving Buchanan more chances to start.
Busy game without a goal
Buchanan had four shots (one on goal), 10 crosses (three accurate) and one corner in Thursday's 6-0 win against Qatar.
ANALYSIS
Buchanon took four shots but was unable to find the back of the net as Canada defeated Qatar 6-0. He was still heavily involved in the game. It was his powerful shot that was returned to Jonathan David, which allowed him to score and put Canada 2-0 ahead. One of his four shots was also cleared off the line in the first half and was fouled as the final man on his way towards the box, which meant that the Qatari defender get sent off.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Villarreal looking at him?
Villarreal are interested in making a move for Villarreal, according to El Desmarque.
ANALYSIS
The Canada international has struggled to see regular time at Inter Milan, but he might have a bigger shot at regular playing time with Villarreal. The former New England Revolution winger would be open to a move to another club in order to see the field more regularly, as he's an afterthought in Inter Milan's current squad.
