  • Al Jazira have completed a $10m (Dhs36.7m) deal for River Plate's highly-rated playmaker Manuel Lanzini as a direct replacement for Abdelaziz Barrada.

    Moroccan international Barrada is set to spend the upcoming season on-loan at Ligue 1 side Marseille following an impressive debut season in the UAE that yielded 15 goals and 16 assists in all competitions.

    Al Jazira fans may be a little concerned that their star midfielder has left to be replaced by a relatively unknown – albeit highly-rated – 21-year-old from Argentina.

    So to help gain more of an understanding on Lanzini, we are sharing this compilation video showcasing a host of skills and goals from the River Plate youngster.

    If Lanzini can produce similar magic shown in this video, Jazira fans may forget about Barrada sooner rather than later!
