The whole idea of a player’s highlights package is to show off their best skills and ultimately make them look better than they are, but there’s a lot to like about Rodrigo Riquelme here.
The Atletico Madrid youngster has been linked with Celtic for a while now, while the latest report from Mundo Deportivo has indicated that Celtic are very interested in signing him, but he’s concerned that he might not play enough.
He’s mainly played for their B team so it’s hard to assess if he’s good enough to make the step up, but some of the talent on show in this video suggests he would be an exciting signing:
Sometimes the problem with younger players is they can rely on athleticism to stand out at a lower level, but Riquelme shows that he has the quality and decision making skills to shine at a higher level.
There are so many examples of him playing dangerous balls into the box from open play and set pieces, while being able to provide tape of tearing a Rangers side to shreds is never a bad thing either.
