Considering that Union Berlin rely so heavily on set-pieces for goals, the Bundesliga minnows should be thankful that they have the best header of a ball in German football leading their line.
Sebastian Andersson, in his debut top-flight campaign, is the main reason why the poor relations of Berlin are still six points clear of the automatic relegation places despite a miserable run of results since football returned in Germany.
The Sweden international has an impressive 12 goals under his belt in 2019/20 alone – and half of those have flown in off his iron-coated forehead.
You might expect such a record, given that Andersson is 6ft 3ins and has the leap of a salmon, but there are not many players in Europe who can match the 28-year-old when it comes to attacking a dead-ball head on (literally).
Cristiano Ronaldo, despite his jaw-dropping tendency to defy the laws of physics like some perma-tanned Matrix supervillain, is well behind Andersson when it comes to headed goals.
So to is Erling Haaland, the Borussia Dortmund superkid who has a remarkable 41 strikes in 36 games across all competitions.
In fact, only one player in the Bundesliga is level with Andersson at the top of the charts – the lethal Robert Lewandowski.
With this in mind, it almost goes without saying that, should Celtic in the race for his signature, Andersson would give the champions of Scotland something a little different in the final third.
Neither Odsonne Edouard nor the diminutive Leigh Griffiths are renowned for their ability in the air, after all.
Andersson might not be able to compete with the Frenchman or the Scot when it comes to technique but, for £5 million, Celtic could give Neil Lennon a reliable Plan B (Expressen).
