Player to watch – Alvaro Djalo

Braga's Alvaro Djalo is a late developer but has shone signs this season that he has just what it takes to be a top player for the club.

Djaló broke into the Braga first team last season, where he made 24 appearances, scoring a couple of goals, but only two of those showings were from the starting lineup.

Djaló has continued to develop this season

This time around, the 24-year-old Spanish forward has made 26 appearances, starting 17 times, and has chipped in with seven goals, including the winner against Estoril last time out.
