33 | Nico O'Reilly - 2025/26

Talent and humility is a lethal combination.
This guy is already at a very high level but clearly listens and wants to learn and improve.
With his physicality too, he has vast potential.
 
Nico is potentially the most versatile player we've had in a long time.

It's very rare to have a player who could potentially play centre back, fullback, as a number 6, a number 8, or as a number 10. He is that good that I could visualise him playing in any of those positions if the situation demanded.

I can therefore see why Pep speculated that he might play him as the backup number 6.

It's just so fantastic having a versatile gem like O'Reilly in the squad.

He will play lots of games for us. A very smart and adaptable player who is improving rapidly in every game.
 
Absolutely brilliant footballer. Such a natural.

I'm confident he'll become a midfielder for us in future. For now he's doing an excellent job and I'm glad he's generally going under the radar, despite becoming an England player.
 
When I said O’Reilly was Rodri and Viera rolled into one, I wasn’t expecting that 18 months later he’d also have some Gareth Bale about him!! Wow!!
