Hi Guys,
Spurs have recently been linked with a move for Benfica left-back Alex Grimaldo. We've cast an eye over the former Barcelona full-back to see what he'd bring to the Spurs side.
"Often likened to Alba while at the Camp Nou, the Spaniard possesses many of the same qualities as the World Cup winner. He effectively plays two positions from left-back; defending resolutely and bombing forward to support the attack
A midfielder in his early playing days, Grimaldo still demonstrates some of the innate knacks he had at the start of his career and, unlike Alba, will happily come inside to join the midfield when Benfica are in possession.
He is still happy hugging the touchline and going one-v-one, but there is more than one dimension to him when attacking."
Profiling Alex Grimaldo
Cheers,
Sam
