F𒁏abiano Soares, his former coach at Estoril, told : “He is very fast. That is why Klopp should keep an eye on him. He is a dynamic, intense, 🧜fast player.”

And Owen Hargreaves told BT Sport: “I tꦦhink Sevilla have the best centre-back, the most underrated centre-back, in European football in Diego Carlos.”
