#6 Renato Sanches: Swansea City

Ad

From being the Golden Boy of Europe to find himself struggling to break into the first-team at Swansea; Renato Sanches has come a long way. His time at Bayern Munich did not go as expected and hence he was touted to rediscover his form at Swansea.

Paul Clement seemed to have pulled off the smartest loan move of the summer by bringing in Sanches. However, the lad has failed miserably and many problems have stemmed due to his lack of confidence.

Firstly, he has had troubles adapting to the physicality of the Premier League. Sanches gets in trouble whenever he his hounded upon by the opposition and hence his close control has been poor too.

He struggles with the ball at his feet and his passing has deteriorated too. He has been a liability in possession and has been unable to pull off his tricks and skills on the ball. He has neither assisted nor scored in any of his 12 appearances in the Premier League.

Moreover, he has been suffering due to a hamstring injury too and that has kept the player out of the squad for some time now. This season will probably go down as the worst one that he has endured in such a young career.
