Ten untapped players can be a “hit” at the Winter Market


hIt’s been years since it was eliminated, but for years, in LaLiga, there was a rule Only players who played five or fewer players at the Winter Market are allowed to sign. At MARCA we wanted to “revive” this rule and scoured the big five leagues for underutilized players. These are the top 11 players without serious injuriesas could be the case of Lukaku or Laporte, They have played five or fewer league matches this year.

Denis Zakaria (Chelsea)

X-file complete. I joined Juventus a year ago and last summer, with the market about to expire, He arrived on loan to Chelsea at the request of Thomas Tuchel. Not with Tuchel… not with Potter. The Swiss midfielder did not feature until November 2. It was in the Champions League, against Dinamo Zagreb (1-2), and Mark. In the premiership, he played only one match, and the last: The former Borussia Monchengladbach player started in the win over Bournemouth (2-0).

Brian Gill (Tottenham)

Former Sevilla player Antonio Conte did not count. The idea, in fact, is that he went out on loan to Valencia again, As in the last part of last season. So far this year he has only played 73 minutes. Moreover, he has played more matches in the Champions League (4) than in the Premier League (1). In the league they only got 6′, on return against Bournemouth (2-3). It doesn’t look like Tottenham will hold the Spain international back from leaving, on loan or on a transfer, in January.

Eden Hazard (Real Madrid)

The former Chelsea player was confident the World Cup in Qatar could be a turning point… but nothing could be further from the truth. He returned to Valdebebas and Real Madrid found the exit door open for him. But in recent days, Ancelotti sent him a ‘wink’:He has trained well and I see him as better than he was before the World Cup. With so many matches coming up, being one of the players to take advantage of.”. We’ll see if that translates to more minutes. Hazard has played, so far, only three matches (131 minutes) in LaLiga, as is the case in the Champions League. In Europe he did a little better: he scored and assisted in the victory at Celtic Park (0-3).

Sergio Dest (AC Milan)

The former Ajax player, on loan to Milan from Barcelona, ​​has not yet found his place. He migrated to San Siro looking for minutes, but Pioli prioritized Calabria and Kalulu on the right side. There is a curious fact: he played more for the United States in Qatar 2022 (309 minutes) than he played for AC Milan (373 minutes). Four of his five matches in Serie A have come off the bench. However, Dest is confident that a good World Cup for him will turn his situation around.

Hakim Ziyech (Chelsea)

Another footballer who has come out of the World Cup has been greatly re-evaluated. In the summer he had a foot and a half in Milan, which promises to return to the charge. In the premiership, he played just 148 minutes, spread over five matches. He started in the defeat against Southampton (2-1) … and played the rest off the bench. Now, after finishing fourth with Morocco at Qatar 2022, he’s hoping to make another comeback.

Keylor Navas (Paris Saint-Germain)

Christophe Galtier did not want debates in the goal and decided them on the fast track: Donnarumma is the best at the start and Keylor Navas continues on the counter to zero. He has not yet made his debut for PSG this season: neither in the league, nor in the Champions League, nor in the Super Cup. His contract expires in June and it seems difficult for PSG to let him go in the middle of the season… but a goalkeeper of his quality deserves more minutes.

Harry Maguire (Manchester United)

United paid Leicester $87m in 2019…but several big mistakes have made him a regular ‘meat meme’. However, Maguire showed at the World Cup that he, confidently, is a center back with full guarantees. The problem is that Tin Hag doesn’t count on it. This drive barely adds 524 ‘yen Premier only played five matches. His high salary and high transfer price complicate his departure.

Memphis Depay (Barcelona)

Barcelona tried to find a place for him in the summer… but no offer came to his liking. In the winter they don’t look like they’ll keep him out either. Problem is, Memphis is out of contract and wants to leave when he arrives: free. The former PSV, Manchester United and Olympique Lyonnais player has played a total of 131 minutes this season divided into three matches, two in the league and one in the Champions League. In his only match as a starter, against Elche (3-0), he scored.

Memphis wants to continue but the club thinks they can donate it in the winter.

Calvin Phillips (Manchester City)

Unique case. The former Leeds midfielder has had a difficult year due to injuries. In the summer he opted to go to Manchester City for €49m and he could hardly have counted for Guardiola. Calvin Phillips played 53 minutes in this first part of the season and only 1!!! in Premier. It was in the victory over West Ham (0-2) on the first day. He lost the place in England’s dual hub to Bellingham and his situation doesn’t seem to be changing. Guardiola made him exercise on the sidelines after returning from weight gain from the World Cup…but soon he’ll be able to get back in the group. “She really has the perfect body. So sexy,” she said. The City boss was meticulous.

Wan-Bissaka (Manchester United)

Another similar case for Maguire. He arrived in 2019 for €55m…but that doesn’t include Ten Hag either. His role, eminently defensive, has led the former Ajax coach to place Diogo Dalot on the right side. The former Crystal Palace player has barely played three matches so far this year. Two in the Premier League with a total of 94 minutes and one in the League Cup. The latter arrived after the World Cup, and Wan-Bissaka claims he acquitted him with an assist in the victory over Burnley (2-0). He could leave Old Trafford in January.
