8) Javier Manquillo
Manquillo was a risk-free signing. He cost no money, but we’ll have him on loan for two seasons, in which time we’ll be able to decide whether to sign him permanently or not. At right-back, he’s done everything you could expect from an unexperienced 20-year-old, and averages the most interceptions per game, and the second most tackles (behind Lucas) in the squad. Arguably an improvement on Glen Johnson, anyway.
