He’s made the FotMob Staff of the Week in 4 of his final seven appearances.

He made the matchday 14 crew with a score of 8.3 after netting the winner towards Spurs.

He missed Staff of the Week for Matchday 19 however returned for Matchday 20, as Iraola’s facet claimed a win over Everton to maneuver to inside three factors of fourth-placed Chelsea.

Bournemouth snapping him up was considered as a coup on the time. Now it seems to be a masterstroke.

His recreation showcases his upbringing. There’s a Dutch bluntness to his methods blended with a Spanish aptitude. The actual fact he’s now taking part in for Spain forward of the Netherlands is a large blow to the latter who might nicely have seen him as a long-term inheritor to Virgil van Dijk. 

Within the English high flight this time period, he’s received, on common 75% of his tackles. He’s profitable nearly 5 duels per 90 and his aerial duel win charge at present stands at 60%. The latter determine will doubtless rise as he grows into his physique. It has to. He’s 6″5′!
