10 La Liga stars who could strengthen any EPL team

3. Inigo Martinez (Real Sociedad)

22 year old Spanish born Inigo Martinez is a Central Defender, and plays for Real Sociedad. Inigo has been quite a revelation, with many consistent and fantastic performances. His club performances are being noticed, and it won’t be long before, he gets a call to represent his country at the international level.

His strength includes his ability to win aerial duels, move out of his position and cover the entire area, and his quick thinking which gives strikers a hard time. His ball distribution has been good throughout the season, and he has improved his pace considerably from last season, which was a cause of concern.

It is being said that he is an ideal replacement for Carles Puyol as and when the defender decides to retires. With age being on his side and possibly a manager who could bring out the best in him, the road ahead looks promising for the young defender.

However, it would really need a lot of money to tempt Real Sociedad into selling one of their star performers.

Potential Bidders: Manchester City, Manchester United
