Adding to his impressive technical skills and speed, Thiago Almada also shows remarkable versatility, being able to play numerous attacking positions.

In both wings or in the middle behind the striker, Almada is already one of the best players from the Argentinian Superliga.

It's just a matter of time before seeing his incredible talent fill the European football pitches. The rivals from Manchester are reported to be the top candidates to sign the player.
