Barcelona's priority for the left-back position is still Marcos Alonso, but Gon?alo Costa (22) from Sporting CP has emerged as an alternative. [a bola]
Who is this kid?
He's a left wing back from Sporting. He has good potential but is a tad injury prone.
He's swift, good at dribbling and does a lot of stepovers and skills. Got that explosive unpredictable nature to his game.
He's very active at pressing.
Got a decent ball and can cross decently well from what I have seen.
He's better defensively than Nuno Mendes and intercepts passes well.
He reminds me of Alex Sandro at times.
Decent player to take a punt on. Still a lot of work to do on his game though. Pretty raw. Can be an understudy for a couple of seasons.
