Good to hear that his renewal is close, he is an excellent squad member. It does not matter if he never starts regularly in midfield, or even if he is in the first 11. He will continue to get more minutes than some of the first 11, at multiple positions. His versatility is very valuable.
His defensive positioning when playing RB continues to be scary. But you have to admit, his defensive results as RB are much improved from last season. Offensively, at RB, as of now he is much better than Semedo. Semedo continues to look like he does not know how to contribute to the attack, despite the evident talent.
