Summary
Denys Popov is a Central Defender costing £11 million from Dynamo Kyiv, a club littered with talent in FM21. An intimidating presence with great pace, aggression and aerial ability Popov would feel at home in the Premier League.
During my test save the Ukrainian joined Man City for £18.25m before moving to PSG in 2023. He developed great mental attributes including 18 anticipation, 17 leadership and 16 aggression, bravery and determination, add insane physicality and good all round ability for a monster Centre-Back.
At 21 years of age Popov could walk into any starting XI and develop into one of the very best Defenders with hallmarks of an old fashioned, hard hitting English Centre-Back.
