Depending on the system, they might be asked to play higher up the pitch or on the left side of a back three. When pushing forward, they must show the intelligence to beat dogged defenders. When sitting deeper, they have to be solid enough to get the better of world-class attackers.

PSG initially got him on a season-long loan from Sporting CP last season, holding the option of making his stay permanent at the end of the season. The Portuguese left-back dazzled the PSG hierarchy in his debut season, prompting the club to sign him permanently for a €38 million fee. Unlike many of his peers, Mendes does not prioritize attack over defense or vice versa.

He is a pacey, creative full-back who doubles up as a reliable defender, rarely committing errors at the back. His crossing ability is impressive, he is a good dribbler, and knows how to find the back of the net as well.

Cucurella, too, is fully accustomed to Potter’s style of play and could emerge as one of the leaders at the back.

Football Tweet @Football__TweetAlphonso Davies in full flow at pitch level.
Considering he is only 21 years old, the Canadian international has the chance to take his valuation to a whopping nine digits in the coming years. Davies, who joined the Bavarian outfit from Vancouver for a mere €10 million fee in January 2019, is a coach’s dream. Naturally a left-back, Davies can also play higher up the pitch, work tirelessly, put delicious crosses into the box, and score valuable goals from time to time.
