Nabil Dirar – Fullback – Monaco

Originally a winger, Nabil Dirar’s conversion to wingback has been tremendously successful. Coach Leonardo Jardim must be credited for Dirar’s renaissance as he originally decided to deploy the Moroccan in defence. Dirar’s work rate was always industrious, but the re-positioning was far from obvious. Monaco now benefit from width in possession that opens up lanes of attack for midfielders and strikers.
