Not Sterling/Sane pace. But more than enough to do the job. His aggression is top quality. I think he is a lityli lose with the ball, but then again, I think most Athletico players are.
Also, because his teammate, Rodri, plays a lot like a younger Busquet, I'm surprised our interest is not more in him. Perhaps Pep feels that aggressiveness (Bernado like with a bit more bite) is more suited for the Prem.
On a side note,if we do sign Saul to play DM, we can expect to have a team that consistently start more left footers than right footers. That would be interesting.

At a minimum, we'll often be starting 6 a game :)
