Nani

After selling Senegalese winger Keita Balde to Monaco, Lazio repaired the front-line damage by sealing a one-year loan deal – with an option to buy – with Valencia for their experienced Portuguese international. Director of sport Igli Tare described the arrival of the ex-Manchester United star as the “cherry on the cake” of the transfer window and he has every reason to be delighted. Whether as a second striker or operating out wide, the 30-year-old’s alliance with the prolific Ciro Immobile could make sparks fly. Having once driven coaches to distraction with his inconsistency, he now brings more intensity and desire to the table – and as he proved in Portugal’s triumph at Euro 2016, he has now become a genuine leader.
