Top 5 signings of the season across Europe

#3. João Cancelo

Joao Cancelo made a switch from Valencia this summer to the reigning Serie A champions, Juventus. Juventus made the move after being impressed by his performances for Inter Milan while he was on loan from Valencia.

The Portuguese right back has brought flair to this Juventus side and is not afraid of making darting runs down the flank or take on players .Cancelo is an absolute workhorse who has a perfect balance of attack and defense. The Portuguese international has featured in 12 games for the Old Lady in Serie A and has set up 2 goals.

Cancelo has been putting in great performances week in week out and has been quite versatile as well, as we have seen him play as a left back too this season. Cancelo along with Cristiano Ronaldo have been the best and the most consistent players for Juventus this season.
