The 23-year-old made the €30 million switch from Benfica to Camp Nou and his former coach says he is similar to one of their previous stars
New Barcelona signing Nelson Semedo is a more suitable Dani Alves replacement than Hector Bellerin, according to his former youth coach.
The 23-year-old completed his move to Camp Nou from Benfica last week for an initial fee of €30 million.
The right side of defence proved to be a problem position for Barca last season after Alves left to join Juventus and Aleix Vidal falling out of favour and then being sidelined with a serious ankle injury, meaning Sergi Roberto was regularly used as a makeshift full-back.
