Gonzalo Frechilla

What Scouts Say: "Central midfielder whose quality you could see right away … Very clean on the ball and changed the point of attack very well … Had a good work rate, found the ball, and was dangerous in tight spaces … They were comfortable giving him the ball all the time, and when they had success this year, he was responsible for a lot of it … He doesn't push forward as an attacking midfielder, but he distributes the ball well … He's a bit of a hothead, so his mental makeup might be a question mark."
