Key strength: Cutting inside
Inside forward
At just 20 years old, Brazilian winger Luís Guilherme is quietly carving out his place in a Real Betis side sitting 5th in the table. Despite competing with high-profile signing Antony for the right-wing berth, the young Brazilian has made 11 appearances this season—contributing 1 goal in 429 minutes of action. His role as an inside forward who specializes in cutting inside offers Manuel Pellegrini a different tactical dimension, one that complements rather than duplicates what Antony provides. With a market value of €12 million already attached to his name, Guilherme represents one of the club's most promising developmental projects. While his minutes remain limited—averaging just 39 minutes per appearance—every cameo is a step toward establishing himself as more than just depth. In a season where Betis are pushing for European qualification, Guilherme's €12m valuation signals that the club sees him as a long-term asset, not merely a squad player biding time behind a blockbuster arrival.
