Ranking The Best Football Transfers In Europe During Summer 2019/20

26. Ferland Mendy - Real Madrid

Unless you're a big follower of the French league, there's a strong chance that you've never heard of Ferland Mendy. However, after being signed by Real Madrid for €47.1 million, you'll be hearing a lot more about the Frenchman very quickly.

When you watch the highlights video above, you'll see that Mendy fits the criteria of a Real Madrid left back perfectly. His power, pace and love of running down the flank mirrors the likes of Roberto Carlos and Marcelo. However, he's just as impressive defensively as he is when he's attacking other teams.

During his two season at Lyon, Mendy was one of the team's most consistent performers. Not only did he rarely miss a match for the French side, he was always one of the better players on the pitch. The fact that he can be dependable each game will make him a firm favourite with the Madrid fans and prove that he was a valuable purchase.
