Adli usually plays as a left winger, but can also play as an attacking midfielder.<\/p>\n
He joined Bayer Leverkusen in 2021, a bit before Xabi Alonso arrived as manager… but never managed to establish himself as a clear starter. <\/p>\n
He was always on the fringes – coming in as a super-sub [with] players like Florian Wirtz and Nathan Tella ahead of him.<\/p>\n
Before the championship-winning season in 2023-24 Adli played many more games because Wirtz was injured.<\/p>\n
Adli has played mostly on the left wing or inside as a left-sided number 10, or as an attacking midfielder a little more centrally. <\/p>\n
Usually he features on the left one way or another – and in Andoni Iraola’s 4-1-4-1 system right now he would probably be the man on the left wing.<\/p>\n
When we look at Bournemouth’s starting XI for their first Premier League match against Liverpool, David Brooks played off the left wing but from what I know, he is more of a right winger. Then there is Luis Sinisterra, who is injured, so I think there is an opening for a left winger.<\/p>\n
I think it’s a fair deal in terms of price. At 25 he is still a young player, not quite at his peak in terms of athleticism. <\/p>\n
He still has a few years until he peaks but he played 140 games for Leverkusen and was part of the Bundesliga-winning squad so is not just a nobody from the bench.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Adli usually plays as a left winger, but can also play as an attacking midfielder.
