Starting next season, Alberto Dossena will wear the jersey of How for a figure that is around 8 million euros, plus 2 million in bonuses. The footballer, born in 1998, after having played an excellent season in Serie A with Cagliari, has decided to embrace the ambitious technical project of the team led by Cesc Fàbregas.
He is a physical centre-back who has proven to be a good defensive player, performing effectively in both a three-man and four-man defence, as demonstrated in the past year under Claudio Ranieri. Thanks to his height, Dossena is an important factor in the aerial game, excelling in heading opponents’ strikers and representing an offensive threat on set pieces. In the last season at Cagliari, a team where he played for two seasons, the former Avellino player made 35 appearances, scoring 2 goals and providing 4 assists, net of 2 own goals and 5 yellow cards, for an average rating of 5.84 and a fantamedia of 5.94.
Fantasy football advice: The 25-year-old from Brescia has good physical qualities, to which he also combines a remarkable sense of position. At Como, Dossena could play as a starter in place of Goldaniga or Barba, depending on the choices made by the Spanish coach. We recommend his purchase as the 7th slot in the 8-a-side leagues and as the 6th/7th in the 10-a-side leagues.
