Watching the Sampdoria Verona game, and Sampdoria’s LCB looks decent - Argentine, 21yo, left footed, quite comfortable on the ball. A quick google tells me he was thought a few years ago to be the Argentine LCB future alongside Cutí but has not progressed as quickly as hoped. But still very young.
ps. Winks is doing Winks things. No impact defensively, chasing shadows and losing concentration at key moments. Players ghost by him. He’s tidy-ish when he has the ball but not really making enough effort to get on it. It took him 15 mins into the second half for him to get his first touch of the half. He strung a few neat balls around but then gave away the ball cheaply for Verona to score a then-disallowed goal. This looks to be his level.
