‘He has scored from set-pieces, mesmerizing solo runs, thunderous strikes from distance and more.
‘He is the true definition of an all-round talent who will only get better with age.
‘Like his idol (Cristiano Ronaldo), Alejandro Garnacho is a speed demon on the flank.
‘His preferred choice is down the left though he can also play on the opposite side.
‘Garnacho is superb in one-on-one situations, twisting up defenders with a bevvy of skills. He knows he has the pace to get by them and regularly uses it.
‘Garnacho’s sense of where his teammates are also helps him in finding passes with ease.
‘Furthermore, the fact that he can shoot from a range of distances means he is a threat whenever he runs at defences.’
Garnacho has earned comparisons with Ronaldo, while on Twitter, fans have likened him to Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi.
