Ex Barcelona Afellay available on a free

1 min read


Barcelona have now released 29-year-old Dutch winger Ibrahim Afellay who is being touted around clubs in Italy with little interest at the moment. He has been offered to Fiorentina, Inter Milan, AC Milan, and Lazio.

Stoke City have been chasing him, 25-year-old Yevhen Konoplyanka and 23-year-old Xherdan Shaqiri. Afellay has 59 Dutch caps and plays as a winger or an attacking midfielder. It never really worked for him at Barcelona with injuries and two loan spells, one at Schalke in Germany and one at Olympiakos in Greece.

Since Afellay signed in 2011 he has played just 792 La Liga minutes and we have looked at him previously. Is he a short-term option who can provide enough quality to provide cover for Nacer Chadli and Christian Eriksen. He is an unattached free agent Barcelona at one time thought good enough, perhaps he is a player we should consider taking a chance on.

  1. He had a bad season at Olympiakos on loan.In the greek superleague...so i dont think that sounds good enough for spurs.
  2. Sometimes these football manager prospects do not always cut the mustard in real life. Hands down would be a waste of money, simply not good enough for Spurs
