Fernandinho, Manchester City
Fernandinho
Trending
Being the most-expensive signing of the summer so far, the highly-rated Brazilian’s signing has led to massive expectations off him. The Brazilian brings in much needed energy, drive and steel to City’s midfield.
Fernandinho is a significant upgrade on the likes of Barry and Javi Garcia and should take some pressure off the large shoulders of Yaya Toure.
With City being the wounded animal this season, a title challenge is a must from the blue half of Manchester, and Fernandinho is expected to be at the heart of it. Besides providing a solid shield to the City defence, he is expected to initiate attacks with his skillful passing ability. Fernandinho needs to adapt to the tempo of Premier League at the earliest, which is a much harder place than the calmer waters of Ukrainian football.
