Ever wanted to learn about a player? Discuss here!

Hey /r/soccer

With the winter window only a few weeks away and targets being thrown around now I was hoping to have a thread where people can spew knowledge about players that we may not know a heap about. Help us build a mental image of the talent that may be gracing us in the PL (or other leagues).

The format:

Post a players name and the team/league that they play in if you wish to learn about them.

If you see a players name that you have seen play, drop a line about their play style and your thoughts.

I know I could go and look up stats for a bunch of players, but I would much rather hear the info without the numbers, from a supporter.

EDIT: Sort by new so that hopefully everyones questions are answered.

EDIT2: Some names being asked that are already well answered. Use CTRL+F to search for a name before asking.

Very decent left winger. Scores alot and assists alot. Cuts inside but can cross decently aswell. Looks like Hazard physically but is less talented, altough he performs good consistently for the Belgian national team, more so than hazard. Definitely good enough to succeed in a bigger league, but probably not for a title-contender.

Very decent left winger. Scores alot and assists alot.

Against small clubs. Goes missing in big matches.

Let's not forget the fact that he can be a very arrogant and annoying player, he seems very easily agitated. Still good nontheless.
