The Chelsea academy graduate moved to Spain 18 months ago and was quickly ingratiated into the squad. A tenacious midfielder nicknamed “The Pitbull” appeared to be the perfect embodiment of Diego Simeone’s ideals, tearing around the pitch with a feverish intensity befitting the red and white stripes.
