Rodrigo Bentancur is a Uruguayan midfielder who joined Tottenham from Juventus in January 2022. He started out at Boca Juniors, and his game is built on tidy passing, intelligent positioning and the ability to link defence with attack. He is also a regular for the Uruguay national team.
Bentancur is a deep thinker on the pitch who rarely wastes possession and who understands the balance a midfield needs. In a De Zerbi side that depends on controlled build-up, those qualities are valuable, although he now faces serious competition from the likes of Sandro Tonali and Conor Gallagher. Staying fit and sharp is the key to his involvement.
