Ander Capa

The Eibar right-back has attracted the attention of Europe’s elite with his performances for the Basque club. His physicality is one of his major traits. He is far away from his true potential. Capa needs to work on his passing and crossing if he wants to have a chance to make it to the first eleven of the best team in the world. But he is one for the future and might even turn out to be the next Azpilicueta.

According to AS, Eibar have already rejected a loan offer for Capa. But if Luis Enrique is truly interested in him and Robert goes for him with all guns blazing, Capa might be the next big thing at the Camp Nou. He is expected to cost around €10 million.
