While Lo Celso is the gold, Dybala is a diamond. Dybala is more of a proven commodity. A fierce dribbler by nature, petite, and devilishly quick and has a magical left foot.

Dybala is a finely cut diamond that has been glittering in Juventus colors. However, the shine seems to be diminishing since last season. The main reason for this is the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Dybala is an enigmatic player, yet his evolution is a puzzle for many to solve. Not because his playing style is unknown but simply for the fact that no one is sure where his future is headed.

Ronaldo’s arrival has forced Dybala to take a backseat. Dybala has been offered a way out, Spurs are interested in signing him. There have been reports of Juventus accepting a £64 million bid.

Dybala is the kind of player who blossoms when he has a team playing around him and building the play through him. At Tottenham, he could precisely do that. With Christian Eriksen most likely to leave the Londoners, the arrival of Paulo Dybala could be sweet music to the fans ears.

Dybala started as a left-winger but also gained fame as a striker and a right-winger in later years. His low center of gravity makes him much more than just an out-and-out forward.

Dybala either cuts inside with the blessed pair of feet or roams with freedom in the final third attracting defenders and freeing up his teammates.
