‘I win more head-to-head duels than Ramos’ – Sevilla’s Kounde

Sevilla defender Jules Kounde believes he has won more aerial duels than Real Madrid captain and centre-back Sergio Ramos this season.

The 21-year-old joined the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium outfit on a five-year deal from Bordeaux last July, and he is having an impressive debut campaign in Seville.

Kounde has played 16 games in La Liga this season, winning 2.4 aerial duels per game despite having a height of 1.78m, and he thinks he is being targeted by the opposition.
