Nicolas Dominguez, a midfielder for Nottingham Forest, is already showing that he was well worth the money the team paid for him this summer.
The 25-year-old spent £8 million to join the Reds this summer, while Remo Freuler, another midfielder, went to Bologna.
His ball-winning skills have been on display in his first six appearances for Forest, and his playstyle has thrilled Forest supporters.
With Orel Mangala and Ibrahim Sangare, he has forged a fantastic midfield partnership. Dominguez is the more advanced of the two and loves to press the ball.
Dominguez has surprised everyone.
The 25-year-old won eight tackles on Sunday against Aston Villa, which is the most of any player in the Premier League in a single game this year.
Back in Italy, Dominguez gained the reputation of being the ‘King of the Press’, with the midfielder having a real desire to regain possession for his side.
It is clear to see in his play so far at the City Ground, with Dominguez always being the first player in a Forest shirt to initiate the press out of possession.
Signing of the season?
He may only be six games into his career at the City Ground, but he looks to be a really astute piece of business for the club.
The Argentinian has given Steve Cooper’s team an entirely new dimension; as he showed on Sunday, his eagerness to win the ball back makes counterattacks possible quickly.
The midfield player may be called up to the Argentina national team ahead of the next international break based on his performance under Cooper.
