The Scotsman has proved himself one of the few really top class players earning his bread at Arsenal since joining. Nine assists and two goals in the Bundesliga is an exceptional contribution for a full-back, and Dortmund will do all they can to sign him up to a longer deal, with his current terms expiring in 2023. Guerreiro also joined Borussia Dortmund that summer in 2016, and has developed into one of the Black & Yellows’ most consistent and feared performers.įew left-backs in world football boast the footwork, first touch and finishing of the Bundesliga man, with teammate Jude Bellingham informing FFT that Guerreiro has impressed him more than any other player since joining the club. The Portugal international was included in the UEFA Team of the Tournament as his nation were crowned European champions five years ago. At 32, Alba’s coming to the end of his prime years fast, but his technical ability means he’ll still be capable of playing at the top level for a few seasons yet. The Spaniard remains his usual blend of speed, composure, final product and dazzling footwork, as evidenced by his three goals and seven assists in La Liga this season. In truth, though, that has as much to do with Barcelona’s decline as a true European superpower than anything he’s done personally. Once the gold standard for European left-backs, Alba’s star has fallen slightly in recent seasons. Five assists and two goals in his first Premier League campaign at Stamford Bridge are evident of his attacking ability, yet new Blues boss Thomas Tuchel wants to see some improvements in his defensive skill set. At 24, he still has plenty of time to improve. So good were the Englihsman’s performances for Leicester City across a COVID-ravaged 2019/20 campaign, nobody batted an eyelid when Frank Lampard’s Chelsea paid £45m for his services last August.Ĭhilwell has every tool the modern fullback needs: pace, stamina, composure, pinpoint delivery and defensive intelligence.
