LaLiga 2018-19: 3 defensive midfielders Barcelona could target as backup for Busquets

#1 Ruben Neves - Wolverhampton

Wolverhampton Wanderers v Huddersfield Town - Premier League

Although he plays as a central midfielder with the Wolves, Neves is also a natural defensive midfielder. He often draws comparisons with the likes of Jorginho for his ability to stop the opposition and construct some of the most technical plays for his team.

The £36m rated midfielder has been a sensation ever since his arrival at the Molineux Stadium, and he has been an extremely important element in the Wolves' midfield.

Neves has been on La Blaugrana's radar since September as an alternative for Adrien Rabiot, who still isn't sure about his future. If Neves is to arrive at Camp Nou, he can be a great replacement for Busquets and can form a link between Coutinho, Arthur and himself, in order to build one of the best midfield trios in the world.

As a deep-lying playmaker, Neves can surely add depth and move the ball around the way Barcelona players normally do.
