Youssef Enríquez

Key strength: Pace and recovery

Overlapping full-back

At just 20 years old, Moroccan prospect Youssef Enríquez is quietly carving out his place in Deportivo Alavés' squad as they sit comfortably in 7th position. The young left-back has made 3 appearances this season, logging 270 minutes while adapting to the demands of top-flight football. Though yet to register a goal or assist, his €5 million market value signals the club's belief in his potential. Operating as an overlapping full-back, Enríquez brings energy down the left flank, complementing teammates like Antonio Blanco and Carlos Vicente in Alavés' system. With two yellow cards already, he's showing the tenacity expected of young defenders learning their trade. In a squad blending experience with emerging talent, Enríquez represents the future—every minute on the pitch a step toward establishing himself as a reliable option on Alavés' defensive line.
