🚨 TRANSFER ALERT 🚨

Marcos Acuña has moved from Sporting to Sevilla for €10m. He's almost 29, but that's not a bad price for a guy with these numbers at a La Liga standard. Huge attacking output, good defending, excellent both ways in ground duels, awesome finisher: 🔥

1/4

Acuña is an excellent crosser who can make long passes from anywhere along the flank. He can also take corners and free kicks from both sides, as his smartermap shows:

2/4

That's part of why Acuña was involved in a whopping 68% of Sporting's goals while playing LB in 2018-19. That figure came down a bit last season, but 43% was still pretty good for his position:

3/4

If we look around Europe's top five leagues for a similar player to Acuña at LB, the top match is James Milner in 2016-17 – another avid, versatile defender. @leonsfdo has bought himself a Swiss army knife. Will Acuña have the same durability as Milner? So far, so good.

4/4
