FC Barcelona vs Deportivo Alaves - Copa Del Rey Final — Theo Hernandez against Barcelona

And the most expensive outlay of Real Madrid this summer has been Theo Hernandez from Atletico Madrid. Such is the talent that the left-back possesses that Madrid actually broke the verbally-agreed gentlemen agreement with Atleti regarding player transfers to sign the former Alaves loanee.

Ever since the continuous absence of Fabio Coentrao due to injuries, Madrid have lacked a left-back to provide cover for Marcelo. However, that search has now ended with the addition of the French-Spaniard. Theo is an insanely fast full-back that has bags of raw potential and the desire to learn.

In his early games, his crosses might have been infuriated some, but the talent is there – and the Madridistas know it. For an initial fee of €24 million, Theo represents a brilliant signing for the Merengues as they look forward to world domination over the next few years.

Grading: 9/10
