Jozy Altidore has made an impressive first Primera Division appearance in Villarreal's La Liga match up against Deportivo La Coruna at the Estadio El Madrigal, Spain. With first-choice strikers Nihat Kahveci and Guiseppe Rossi not available Altidore came into the game at half-time for the disappointing Guillermo Franco.
Initially it was felt Altidore may be loaned out from Villarreal as many major European clubs do with their younger players to gain greater experience, but club management may be having a rethink after this weekend.
