Top 5 new promising La Liga signings

The Spanish La Liga has started again this weekend with new faces.

In a summer transfer window full of transfer bombs, few promising youngsters have arrived ready to give so much and show their worth in the Spanish championship.

La Liga clubs haven’t invested only in big names such as Griezmann, Joao Felix and Hazard, but also in vast talented young players who may soon become this season’s revelation.

Here are the Top 5 new promising La Liga signings:

5. Joan Jordan

This summer, Sevilla beat the competition of Arsenal to complete the signing of Joan Jordan from Eibar for €14 million, with the 24-year-old becoming their third arrival ahead of next season.

The Regencos-born midfielder is one of the few players in La Liga who has both created over 40 chances and made over 40 tackles this season, showing he boasts that ideal synthesis between attack and defence. In addition, has netted 10 La Liga goals across two seasons at Ipurua and has made 75 first-team appearances. Jordan had created 52 chances last season, the fifth-highest number in La Liga.

4. Pedro Porro

Just few days ago, Real Valladolid confirmed they have signed Manchester City defender Pedro Porro on loan for the season. It came just days after City signed the defender in a €12 million deal from Girona – their Spanish sister club – while Valladolid have an option to sign the player permanently.

Porro had spent the past two seasons at Girona following a move from Rayo Vallecano in 2017 and has played 35 times for the club, scoring once and providing four assists. The youngster, who can play as both a right back and a right winger, established himself as a starter under former boss Sacristan, being a first-choice ahead of Aday Benítez and replacing the departed Pablo Maffeo.

3. Renan Lodi

Atletico Madrid secured their replacement for Filipe Luis at left-back after signing Atletico Paranaense’s Renan Lodi. He is regarded as one of the best left backs in the country and has been recognized for his speed and attacking prowess.

Lodi has been at Paranaense since 2012, joining as a youth player. The 21-year-old has played 49 official matches for the Brazilian side, scoring four goals and providing eight assists. He helped the Parana-based side to their first Copa Sudamericana crown in 2018 and played really well at the tournament.

2. Marc Cucurella

Quickly after activating the buy-back clause in his contract, Barcelona loaned him to Getafe. Getafe now have the option to buy the 20-year-old for €6 million euros at the end of the campaign.

The full-back made 33 first-team appearances for Eibar last season and has shown a lot of potential, to attract scouts from several leading European. Cucurella is also a Spain youth international, having represented his country between Under-16 and Under-20 levels. Ironically, the wing back scored just one goal this season and that was in his final game – against Barcelona.

1. Joao Felix

New Atletico Madrid arrival, 19-year-old Joao Felix left Benfica in a stunning €126 million deal, but he has not failed to deliver at this point of the summer.

He started off the pre-season very well, and has continued to deliver impressive performances on several occasions on which he had another top dress rehearsal with the Rojiblancos. So far, the high price tag and flattering comparisons are proving to be deserved, as he managed to net 3 times in 5 appearances for Diego Simeone’s side.

The Portuguese starlet had scored or assisted a goal every 36 minutes from the total of 250 minutes he has played during Atleti’s pre-season, recording better figures than Lionel Messi ever managed in a single season.
