You have to say though - he's getting some pretty ridiculously good service this season. Still has to finish though so good on him!

[Ansem 8,796]

The good news is that he has developed into quite the left winger... Now we have options on the LW between Davies, Hoillet and Larin.

That, is one hell of a finish. The man is back 

[sebdeserio 174]

4th in scoring, 2 goals behind first place. If Besiktas can find any sort of from, it's very possible that he can finish as the top scorer.

Remember when they didn’t think he was good enough and were trying to off load him lol ?

Turkish fans are pretty fickle, they’ll turn on him if he doesn’t keep producing

Based on my, admittedly small, research - the majority of Besiktas fans still don’t rate him at all. Think he’ll need to keep up this pace for awhile longer to get these fans on his side.

Such an arrogant, unorthodox, Zlatanesque, outside of the foot finish.  I love it!

Cheeky bugger there. LOL.  That'll find you on the wrong end of a stern tackle very shortly.

Not sure if you watched the game or not (I never), but this video seems to imply that Larin is not playing as a true winger, which I would expect.

See 11:35 of this video. I don't speak Turkish, but my guess is that he is a winger defensively in a 4-1-4-1, but that turns into an attacking 4-2-2 with Larin paired with Aboubakar up top. 

If he was in fact playing as a true winger, that would be very interesting. Can anyone confirm how Larin has been playing lately?

I guess the 2 missing players are hanging back with the keeper pulling up the grass

He makes the occasional run up the wing, (and he's actually quicker than you'd think) but his crossing isn't very good. He'll usually leave it for N'Sakala, and get into the box.

He’s doing it from a completely new position too. He’s a more complete player than I once thought 

[jordan 3,422]

I think his position is only different defensively 

[Obinna 8,658]

Since joining Besiktas in 2018, Larin has 10 goals in 24 Turkish Super Lig games, and 14 goals in 36 in all competitions. 

[LeoH037 1,322]

Anyway you paint it, those are very good stats. The guy has a nose for goal. Get him good service and he'll score

[Addona 501]

What about that pass ... mark my words, that guy has a really bright footballing future!!!
