Veterans rejuvenate! Aspen counts La Liga’s cost-effective signings: Sanchez and Sidanjuma are on the list

October 16th: The Spanish media "AS" wrote an article to take stock of several cost-effective transfers in La Liga this season. Veterans Sanchez, Andre Silva, Iglesias, and Danjuma are among them.

Etta Ayon

The Cameroon forward is a typical representative. Villarreal only spent 1.5 million euros to recruit him from the Cadiz youth training. Although he contributed 1 goal and 2 assists in three games and started every game, he was subsequently sold to Levante. Ayon has scored consecutive goals against Betis, Girona, Real Madrid and Oviedo, becoming one of the most eye-catching players in the opening stages of the league. Villarreal retains 50% ownership, right of first refusal and buy-back clause. The biggest winner at present is actually Levante.

Alexis Sanchez

Sevilla rebounded by introducing veterans. Under Almeida, three value signings of Alexis Sanchez, Frachodimos and Azpilicueta have become the backbone of the team. The goalkeeper is on loan and the other two joined without a visa. "Wonder Boy " Sanchez has contributed 2 goals and 1 assist, helping the team defeat Rayo Vallecano and Barcelona before the international break.

Iglesias

Borja-Iglesias and Radu are Celta Vigo's most successful signings. The effect of bringing back old players from the youth training exceeded expectations. The forward scored 6 goals in 10 games in the league and UEFA Europa League. His hot state allowed him to return to the Spanish national team after a year and a half. For Radu, Celta Vigo means a freshman. After many loan spells and transfers to Inter Milan and Venice, the Romanian goalkeeper joined for free and became the main force. Although he has not completed a clean sheet, his performance is driving his value back up.

Andre Silva

Andre Silva joined Elche this summer for 1 million euros and has so far scored a quarter of the team's goals and become the top scorer. The Portuguese is returning to his peak form and fits perfectly with Eder Sarabia's tactical system. If not for the away defeat in the last round, the team could have entered the European theater.

Onasi

Onasi, who moved from Marseille to Girona, is recreating the glory he had against Spain in the 1/8 finals of the Qatar World Cup. Called "Morocco's No. 8" by Enrique, he has become one of the few bright spots under Michel. After missing the game against Valencia due to injury, he is expected to return to the team after the international break.

Danjuma

Danjuma has found a home in Valencia. After joining Villarreal from Bournemouth in 2021, his contract expired this summer and he joined the rival in the same region on a free transfer. The performance of 3 goals and 1 assist has been worth his salary. He has firmly established himself as the main force under Coberan, swimming between the center and the left wing. Now it's just a matter of converting the goals into much-needed points.
