5 players in Europe who need a fresh start at a new club

#2 Aymen Abdennour - Valencia

Aymen Abdennour

Many good defenders have gone to Valencia and suddenly looked bad. It’s a cause and effect of what’s currently going on at the club, with an inability to provide any stability. Aymen Abdennour was one of the players tasked with plugging a leak at the club but ultimately it has not worked out for the man who was touted to replace Nicolas Otamendi.

Valencia have not been good to Abdennour, while the player hasn’t done anything for the club either. It means a separation looks likely and while the Moroccan has hardly impressed, there’s still plenty of talent there.

Abdennour is a mountain of a centre-back who looks to impose himself on opponents, primarily using his physical strength. He’s hard to defeat in aerial battles, while out-muscling him is a near impossible task. If a team with the right sort of system pick him up there’s no reason why he can’t be a top defender in Europe.
