Ranking The Best Football Transfers In Europe During Summer 2019/20
25. Gelson Martins - Monaco
After dazzling fans in the Primeira Liga with Sporting CP, Gelson Martins made what seemed to be a smart move to Atletico Madrid after a major bust-up with the Portuguese club. However, a poor start to the first half of last season, along with very few games played, made it seem like Martins would be be the biggest flop of the year.
However, Monaco swooped in and took a chance on the Portugal international and he hasn't looked back since. With three goals in eight appearances, he convinced the French side that he was the real deal and they bought him.
While it didn't work out for the fleet-footed winger in Spain, Ligue 1 seems to fit his style perfectly. Martins possesses some incredible skills and also has a terrifying amount of pace. He might not score as much as fans and his coach would hope, but he does create opportunities for his teammates to deal damage, making him a threat to all defenders who try to stop him.
