Why him
He has not set up a league goal in the matches on record; for goals and assists he is behind most players at his position in Serie A (ahead of ). He would compete with Ángel Pérez () for a starting place. The most valuable regular starter we found at full-back. We expect him to play of Alavés's minutes.

The third most valuable regular starter we found at full-back. We expect him to play of Alavés's minutes. Market value .
