Summary

Exequiel Zeballos is a versatile wide man capable of cutting inside from the left or hugging the right wing and an absolute bargain for £4.7 million. With excellent all round technique, flair, dribbling, finishing and crossing the 17 year old has it all. Add speed and agility for one hell of a threat from the wing.

In my save Zeballos developed great movement, passing, vision and even decent work rate and aggression. The epitome of an all rounder Exequiel can assist and score, creating from deep or the final third.

The young Argentine moved to Sassuolo in Italy before a £24.5 million transfer to surprise powerhouses Club Brugge in my save where he has thrived. Juventus, Real Madrid and Bayern have shown interest and he should accelerate to the next level playing in Europe’s elite.
