Young attacking talent on a one-year loan at the AMEX

Is he a caliber of a player for Barcelona or for Brighton? It will be debated whether injuries prevented him from showing what he knows at Camp Nou, because he looked convincing at times. However, the Catalans decided to get rid of him at least temporarily and it is logical to ask if he is of such quality or if it is all a consequence of that which the presidents (the former Jordi Bertomeu and the current Joan Laporta) kept telling him.

On the other hand, Roberto de Zebri is doing a great job. So is his team. Exciting and attractive. Ansu Fati could manage in such an environment, under two conditions: to be healthy and to have less off-pitch fun, and to be more devoted to playing football, because with Italians prefer such an approach. When he already decided to reject the transfer to Tottenham, it is Fati's turn to do something at the AMEX Stadium, where he was promoted as a big reinforcement on the last day of the summer transfer window.

Ansu arrived on loan until the end of the season. The agreement between the clubs is such that at the end of this cooperation, the Premier League member will not have a buyout option and the young footballer will return to Barcelona. The English undertook to cover 80 percent of his salary, which annually cost the Catalans around 5,000,000 euros gross.

Fati never lived up to expectations when he was introduced as the "new Messi", he also took the no.10 shirt since the Argentine left for Paris Saint-Germain two summers ago. He showed less than expected. Yes, there were goals and assists, but occasionally. In continuity - no. Among other things, because of those injuries. That is why it is important that he is on the field. And to accept De Zerbi's demands, because the former coach of Sassuolo and Shakhtar makes the players better than they are.

The Seagulls previously brought Joao Pedro from Watford, Carlos Baleba from Lille, Bart Verbruggen from Anderlecht, Fiorentina stopper Igor, while Mahmoud Daoud from Borussia Dortmund and James Milner from Liverpool arrived as free agents.
