Sevilla look formidable once again

Sporting director of Sevilla, Monchi is considered as one of the best in his business. Monchi has been crediting with unearthing value for money players who have gone on to create solid squads at a relatively low budget. Monchi has always maintained his desire to punch above his weight as Sevilla is doing just that in the current season under him and manager Jorge Sampaoli. While other teams are struggling to lure their targets this month, Sevilla made two signings and both started in the draw against Real Madrid.

Three days ago, Stevan Jovetic joined on loan from Inter Milan and scored the second goal against the reigning European champions. Jovetic is expected to play a huge role in Sevilla's run in each competition that they are in. Clement Lenglet, meanwhile, joined in from Clancy and at just 21 years of age, made his debut against Real. He is a defender to watch out for in the coming seasons.
