Top 3 left full-backs in the Premier League right now

#2 Marcos Alonso

Alonso has made the left fullback position his own at Chelsea

Marcos Alonso signed for Chelsea in 2016 when Antonio Conte was the manager. It is the Spaniard's second stint in the Premier League, after having played for Sunderland previously.

He was one of the stalwarts behind Chelsea's title-winning campaign in Antonio Conte's first season in the Premier League. Marcos not only gives them defensive assurance, but he also goes forward at will, helping the team in attack. His link-up play with Eden Hazard is exceptional.

Alonso is a free-kick specialist. He can curl a free kick in the bottom corner from anywhere outside the box. On numerous occasions, the Spaniard has come up with crucial goals. He can also hit powerful long-range shots with his deadly left foot.

Marcos Alonso is an asset for Chelsea, and having committed his long-term future - he can only improve under Maurizio Sarri.

About the author

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.

Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.

Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.

The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.

I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
