Football Manager 2018: 20 Transfer Bargains You Should Snap Up

Age: 28

Position: AM

Fee: £500k-£1m

Adel Taarabt was once touted as the next Zinedine Zidane during his time in England with Tottenham Hotspur. Lacklustre spells at AC Milan and Benfica proved such claims to be somewhere between hyperbole and hogwash, but the Moroccan midfielder has been quietly getting his career back on track on loan at Genoa of late.

Although the player has shown flashes of his former glory this season, his parent club Benfica will gladly sell him to you if you can cough up more than his £450k valuation, and that will buy you some flare in the final third.

Sticking Taarabt on the right wing or in the number 10 position will yield results, though not quite Zidane-level results.
