Playing style
Guirassy is a powerful, clinical centre-forward. He is strong in the air, holds the ball up well and finishes with either foot, often needing only one touch. He is a natural goalscorer who is at his most dangerous inside the penalty area, but he also links play with team-mates and presses defenders. His 28 Bundesliga goals for Stuttgart in 2023/24 came despite missing several games through injury, a sign of his efficiency. At Dortmund he has continued to score regularly in the Bundesliga and in Europe.
