Amondarain career stats

| Club Estudiantes de La Plata | 40 | 4 | 3 |
What type of player is Amondarain?
Amondarain uses his height really well as he’s dominant in the air and acts as a good defensive shield to the back four.
The 2005-born can operate as a box-to-box midfielder, but most of his games last term came as a number six.
He actually operated as a right winger on a few occasions, so Forest may be targeting him due to his versatility.
Amondarain has an 86.3% pass completion rate on FotMob, evincing his proficiency in possession of the ball.
Fill in the gap: Ibrahim Sangare has been a __/10 signing for Forest?
Are you happy he's penned a new deal and who should be next in line for one?
How much would Amondarain cost?
Well, La Liga outfit Real Betis have previously had a £5.1m bid rejected for Amondarain, so clearly Estudiantes will be looking for a fee in excess of that figure.
Estudiantes’ record sale is Juan Foyth, who joined Tottenham Hotspur in a deal worth around £8.9m in 2017.
So, it’s likely that Forest would be able to land his signature for less than £10m, which makes it a very feasible deal to do.
