Into Portugal now, a country famed for producing top quality players over the years, and this one might just be a diamond in the rough. Nuno Sequeira has not been making waves in the media this season, but he ought to be.
After spending the majority of his career in the lower leagues of Portugal, this is Sequeira’s first season in the top flight, helping Nacional to promotion from the second division, where they had plied their trade for four years.
In addition to his 4.5 interceptions per game, Sequeira makes 2.9 successful tackles per game, and 3 clearances. His attacking numbers are good as well, as he provides 1.1 key passes per game, a high number for a left back.
He may not be ready for a move to the big leagues just yet, but perhaps a move to a bigger side in Portugal could aid him in becoming a household name in the near future.
